The Meet the Scientist events give
children and families opportunities
to explore the work of professional
scientists and engineers. Events
include engaging hands-on
activities related to the work being
done every day. The program’s
objective is to make young people
more aware of accessible and
lucrative career opportunities in
science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics (STEM)
industries.
SED Hub developed its Meet the
Scientist events through its
participation within various
schools and STEM professionals in
engaging and enriching ways to
share their knowledge with
children and informal public
audiences. Its essence is helping
accomplished scientists share their
knowledge, their work, and their
passions to the general public in a
approachable manner.
Suitable for any age group.

SED Hub invites kids ages 10-15 to
join our AI bootcamp during a
week-long bootcamp of five daily
workshops.
Kids will learn what AI is, how it
works, how it’s being used in
different industries, and the pros
and cons of this technology.
Participants will explore AI

concepts such as machine learning,
algorithms, programming,
automation and robots. What is

basic circuitry and frame
components, you'll construct a
base for your robot. Then you'll
add an Arduino, a popular

electronic devices, and integrate
sensors to let your robot
understand and navigate its
environment.
After you've created your takehome

Always rooted in real and concrete science and taking their lead from the Curriculum - but taking approaches from our
experiences to provide an excellent way of engaging students with science and supporting them in understanding the
world (and worlds) around them. Delivered by practitioners who are passionate about science, these exciting
programmes use drama-based approaches to cement existing learning, clarify difficult concepts, challenge thinking and
introduce new content. We know how complex delivering whole-school approaches to science can be, so you can now
book a Big Science Day for a number of year groups, comprising either different workshops exploring a number of
topics - or a range of age-differentiated activities on a single scientific theme!Our inspirational workshops exist in a
range of formats, differentiated for age and ability - and are designed to build on pupils' existing knowledge, enhance
progression and boost pupil motivation in science. They are available both during World Space Week and throughout
the school year. For teachers, they provide an opportunity to experience some creative, inspiring and cross-curricular
approaches to teaching the topic of Space, many of which require minimal resources and can be shared with colleagues
and implemented into science lessons the very next day.

We know that it's often important
for secondary schools to offer
activities to whole year groups -
and we understand, too, the
logistical difficulties that this can
bring.
So we've designed Big Maths Days
that allow up to 240 primary and
secondary students to carousel
around a number of very different
creative Maths workshops in the
course of one day. Workshops can
include; CSI: Maths, Selling Maths,
Trading Games, The Expedition
and The Bunker.

A high energy activity that
challenges students’
understanding of shape, probes
concepts of “value” and asks them
to cope with the unexpected!Our
high energy Trading Games
provide students with
opportunities to think about maths
in some very different ways.
Working in an ever-shifting
environment, they’ll come to
understand that “value” can be a
concept that changes depending
on circumstances, that the ability
to prioritise is an essential
mathematical skill, and that the
properties of 2D shapes allow
them to be arranged in a variety of
ways.

It’s exactly 100 years to the day
since the grisly demise of Maria –
and this unique workshop allows
up to 180 pupils from ages 6-12,
attempt to crack the case at the
same time. After everyone’s been
introduced to the crime scene, the
victim and the suspects (and been
armed with Evidence Booklets),
we’ll reveal a series of clues –
including blood stains, omnibus
tickets and personal belongings.
As pupils practice their maths
skills, the suspects will be whittled
down one by one – until only the
criminal remains. But there’s still
more to do – because the identity
of his or her accomplice has yet to
be revealed. Exploring (according
to year group and time):
measurements, number

multiplicative reasoning, time,
positional language, properties of

A fast-paced workshop
contextualising sequencing and

maths and other subjects.
At the heart of maths, of course,
lies the ability to identify, analyse
and predict patterns. so, inspired
by the work of Alan Turing and his
fellow mathematicians at Bletchley
Park during World War II, The
Bunker is based in cryptology – the
writing and reading of codes.
Appealing to all age and ability
ranges, The Bunker has a simple
premise. Working in teams, and at
their own pace, students need to
identify as closely as possible the
location of an Enemy Radio
Transmitter by cracking a series of
increasingly fiendish numeric,
geometric and semiotic ciphers.
The more codes they crack, the
more precisely they’ll be able to pin
the Transmitter down.

Most scientists agree that climate
change is one of the biggest threats
facing the planet. But how many of
us understand the role played in
the process by the carbon cycle - a
cycle that's increasingly out of
balance as we continue to produce
more carbon dioxide than we can
absorb?
This intriguing workshop
physicalises the stages and
mechanics of the cycle - and asks
pupils to consider (and dramatise)
how the world might change if
humanity doesn't mend its
ways! Suitable for: 3-5 year olds; 6-
12 year olds; 13-16 year olds.
Duration: 2 hours per group of
