The Learning Lab

Our STEM workshops are the highlight of our educational visits, offering young people the chance to experience hands-on science in a real-life lab setting. Held in The Learning Lab, these workshops feature interactive experiments linked to the national curriculum, helping students build skills and confidence to pursue STEM.

Designed by pioneering scientists from the Science Creates startup community, these sessions provide an inspiring window into the world of scientific innovation.

Step beyond closed doors to catch a glimpse of the future — see the specialist equipment and spaces where scientific breakthroughs happen, and meet the companies pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

Our guided tours offer a chance to see cutting-edge research in action within high-tech labs. By witnessing real-world science at work, students gain a deeper understanding of how discoveries move from the lab into the real world.

Inspiration often sparks in the presence of someone whose passion is so infectious, it becomes impossible to resist. Sometimes, it’s about finding someone whose journey reflects our own potential and opens doors we never considered.

By engaging with real scientists from a variety of backgrounds, learners can ask questions, explore diverse career paths and uncover the personal stories behind groundbreaking discoveries — gaining insight into the moments that ignited each scientist’s passion for their field.
