Other workshops in the lab include ICT – Ride Control where students programme their very own K?NEX SkySwinger using a laptop and Flow Go control box. 

Our themed animal attraction, Little Africa, will transport children to a distant area where they will come face to face with a range of interesting birds and animals. To compliment this, we have a host of new biology workshops – all including ‘close encounters’.

A fellow teacher from another school told me about your fantastic Force trip. We all had such a good time and the kids learnt so much. The morning was great? loads of interesting facts presented in a really fun way. This talk was very professional – excellent content. Andy was great!
