A focused way to bring creativity into STEM through digital storytelling, design and making. We bring the specialist equipment specified for the booked format; your school provides the agreed space, furniture and power.
STEAM is STEM with a purposeful creative dimension. At Hyett Education, our explicitly creative STEAM choices are two established workshops: Stop-Motion Animation and 3D Design & CAD Printing. We keep that distinction precise; the rest of our workshop range remains described as STEM.
Choose your creative route
Choose digital storytelling for Years 1–6, or product design and prototyping for Years 3–7. The exact curriculum links are shown on each workshop.
Pupils plan, film and edit their own LEGO animations while developing digital-content, narrative and visual-communication skills.
The “A” comes through visual storytelling, composition and animation.
Pupils use CAD software to model purposeful objects and explore the design–make–evaluate cycle. One demonstration print runs live and is left with the school.
The “A” comes through creative design, visual modelling and prototyping.
STEM first, creativity with purpose
The arts add creative thinking, communication and design to the technical learning; they do not replace the STEM content. Pupils make choices, test ideas and refine a creative outcome for a real audience or purpose.
Direct school feedback

The workshop was great and the children loved it. I cannot praise Jack highly enough, we have lots of external providers come in to do workshops with the kids and his manner and delivery really stand out. Staff were very impressed! The children loved the opportunity to be creative.
Thank you so much for visiting us last week. The workshops have been absolutely fantastic! Our pupils were completely engaged from start to finish, and it was such a joy to see them exploring their creativity through technology. The 3D Design Workshop was pitched perfectly for their age group, clear, accessible, and yet challenging enough to keep everyone motivated. The balance between learning new skills and having the freedom to experiment worked really well.
We had a wonderful session: the children were engaged, the pace was good and the presenter was very interactive.
