STEM Workshops for Parents, Parties & Youth Groups

Private STEM workshops for birthday parties, scouts, guides, holiday clubs and youth groups. We bring the robots, drones and 3D printers to your venue.

Hyett Education offers private STEM workshops for parents, guardians, youth groups and holiday clubs throughout the year. Our DBS-checked instructors bring all the equipment to any suitable venue, delivering hands-on sessions in robotics, drone flying, 3D printing and more. Birthday party packages, scout and guide badge sessions, and holiday club partnerships are all available with flexible pricing and group sizes.

After-School STEM Clubs

Tech Tigers is our branded after-school STEM club programme. We partner with schools to run weekly clubs during term time, giving children the chance to get hands-on with robotics, coding, digital art, Minecraft Education, stop-motion animation, construction challenges, maths puzzles and science experiments.

Every session is delivered by a DBS-checked Hyett Education instructor using professional-grade equipment. Children work on a different STEM activity each week, keeping things fresh and building a broad set of skills over the term. Schools provide the room; we handle everything else, including the instructor, equipment, lesson plans and parent communication templates.

View upcoming sessions, locations and availability on the Tech Tigers STEM Clubs page, where you can also book your child's place directly.

Holiday Clubs & Camps

We partner with holiday clubs, day camps and childcare providers across England to deliver high-quality STEM enrichment sessions during school holidays. If you run a holiday club and want to offer something genuinely different, our workshops are a proven way to attract bookings and keep children engaged all day.

The arrangement is straightforward: your club provides the venue and the children, and we supply the instructor, all equipment and full lesson plans. There is no preparation required from your staff, and we handle all the setup and pack-down.

Sessions can be booked as a one-off visit for a special theme day, or as a regular series running across the entire holiday period. Popular options for holiday clubs include:

  • Half-day robotics workshops that keep groups occupied for an entire morning or afternoon
  • Drone flying sessions that work brilliantly indoors in a school hall or sports hall
  • Multi-day STEM camps where children progress through increasingly advanced challenges
  • Mixed activity days combining robotics, coding and 3D design for variety

All sessions are age-appropriate and can be adapted for mixed-age groups, which is common in holiday club settings. Get in touch to discuss your holiday programme requirements.

STEM Birthday Parties

Give your child a birthday party they will actually remember. Instead of the usual soft play or bouncy castle, our STEM birthday parties let children get hands-on with real technology. They will build and program robots, fly drones through obstacle courses, or design and 3D print their own creations to take home.

Each party is led by a DBS-checked instructor who manages all the technology, keeps the session running smoothly, and makes sure every child is involved. You choose the activity that suits your group best:

  • Robotics partychildren build, program and race robots in teams, learning coding fundamentals while competing in challenges
  • Drone flying partylearn to pilot drones safely through obstacle courses with increasing difficulty, developing spatial awareness and control skills
  • 3D printing partydesign custom keyrings, figures or gadgets on screen, then watch them printed in real time to take home as a party favour
  • Combination sessionmix two or three activities into a longer session for the ultimate STEM experience

We cater for groups of 8 to 30 children, with sessions lasting 60 to 90 minutes. All equipment is provided and set up by our team. You just need to provide the venue and the birthday cake. Browse our full workshop catalogue for more activity ideas.

Scouts, Guides & Youth Groups
