Can we book workshops specifically for girls-only groups?

You can enquire about girls-only or mixed sessions. We will confirm which workshop formats, capacities and dates are currently suitable and available before booking.

Which workshops are most popular for girls in STEM events?

We do not present a popularity ranking as evidence of suitability. Tell us the pupils’ ages, intended outcomes and access needs; we will identify the eligible workshop options and confirm their current formats and availability.

What age groups are your girls in STEM workshops suitable for?

A girls-focused day uses the published eligibility of the underlying workshop; it is not a separate product with one age range. Share the pupils’ year groups and we will identify the eligible options. The quote confirms the exact cohort and format.

Do you incorporate female role models into the workshops?

Role-model and careers content can be included in a girls-focused proposal. The proposal confirms the examples, intended outcomes and connection to the selected workshop rather than assuming identical content in every session.

How do your workshops help close the gender gap in STEM?

A workshop can give pupils a practical opportunity to try science and technology activities and discuss role models or careers. It does not guarantee a change in confidence, subject interest or future choices. Agree the intended outcomes and any follow-up with us before booking, then evaluate the day within your wider programme.

Do you provide any resources or follow-up after the workshop?

Available resources and follow-up vary by workshop and format. The quote or booking confirmation states which activity summary, objectives, certificates, careers material or follow-up resources are included.

Girls in STEM Workshops for Schools

The Gender Gap in STEM

Participation by sex varies across STEM subjects, education stages, occupations, geographies and datasets. Schools should use current official education, higher-education and workforce statistics when planning or reporting an intervention, rather than treating a single historic percentage as universal.

A practical workshop can give pupils an additional opportunity to try STEM activities and discuss careers, but no single event can be assumed to change long-term participation or close a gender gap. Schools should place the day within a wider, evidence-informed programme and evaluate outcomes against their own aims.

Workshops That Engage Girls

Available formats include collaborative, creative and project-based activities. The exact participant tasks and outputs depend on the workshop, age group, session length and capacity shown in the quote.

Robotics: Participants work in pairs or small teams to build and programme robots. The exact platform, task, group size and capacity depend on the workshop and format booked.
3D Design and Printing: Students design their own 3D models and watch a demonstration print run live. One demonstration print is left with the school, while every student keeps their own digital design. Longer formats that use 3D Doodle pens may also include take-home pen-made creations.
Coding and App Development: Girls learn to code by building something meaningful, whether that is a game, an animation, or a simple app. The focus is on creative expression through technology rather than abstract programming exercises.
AI and Machine Learning: Participants explore supervised learning, training data, model accuracy, bias and ethics, then train an image-recognition model to control a LEGO robot. Any careers content is confirmed in the proposal.
Cybersecurity: Participants work through code-breaking, encryption and digital-safety activities. The workshop page lists the intended age range, capacity and selected curriculum connections.
Stop-Motion Animation: Participants plan, build and film stop-motion animations using LEGO scenes, iPads and the Stop Motion Studio app.

Inspiring Role Models

A girls-focused proposal can include examples of women working in relevant STEM fields. The proposal identifies which role-model or careers content is included and how it connects to the selected activity and age group.

Role-model content is not assumed to be identical across every workshop. Schools should agree the intended careers outcomes, examples and follow-up before booking.

Building Confidence and Challenging Stereotypes

A girls-focused day can give pupils an additional opportunity to take part in practical STEM and discuss stereotypes. The available scaffolding and adaptations depend on the selected workshop and the needs shared by the school.

Participant outputs vary by product and format. A school may evaluate confidence or attitudes as part of its wider programme, but Hyett Education does not promise a measurable change from one workshop.

How to Book a Girls in STEM Workshop Day

A girls-focused workshop day can be discussed for a school event or wider careers programme. The proposal confirms the current workshop options and availability.

Get in touch: Contact us to tell us about your school, the year groups involved, and what you are looking for. There is no obligation at this stage.
Choose your workshops: We will recommend the workshops that work best for your girls-focused event, based on age group, interests, and your goals for the day. We can run multiple different workshops across the day so girls get to experience a variety of STEM activities.
Receive a tailored quote: We will send you a current quote based on the workshop, delivery format and the geographic price band selected from the school's postcode. The school can then assess it against the available budget.
Prepare for the day: Once confirmed, we send a preparation guide covering room setup, timetabling and what to expect. We bring the specialist workshop equipment; your school provides the agreed indoor space, tables, chairs and power, and CAD requires reliable internet. We confirm the exact setup before the booking.

If you are not sure which workshops would suit your event best, we are happy to recommend options based on your students’ ages and the outcomes you want to achieve. Browse our full workshop range or get in touch to start planning your girls in STEM event.
