Coming March 2025
British Science Week
Enjoy a unique school trip at Life!
For 25 years, Life has delivered interactive, curriculum-linked workshops and hands-on science centre activities to develop students’ interest, awareness and knowledge of STEM.
Join us to kick off the birthday celebrations in March with a special set of robotics-themed workshops to coincide with British Science Week 2025.
All of Life’s workshops in March link to the Computing curriculum, as well as developing skills such as communication and teamwork.
From Monday 10 – Friday 14 March, students will get the chance to visit Luma, the giant, glowing robotic snail! This nine-metre-long interactive snail has a gentle, welcoming and otherworldly presence – and just loves an audience.
Luma’s artists, Air Giants, draw heavily from nature to make huge, interactive soft robots.
School workshops
There are different workshops for each Key Stage, lasting 30 minutes. These will replace our usual KS1-KS3 workshops in March. KS4 workshops are available as usual.
Key Stage 1
Bee-bot adventure
Can you get your Bee-Bot to the flowers and safely back to the hive? In this hands-on workshop young people will use simple coding to control the movements of a robotic bee.
Key Stage 2
Cubelets challenge
How many challenges can you get your Cubelet robots to complete? In this hands-on workshop young people will learn how to make a team of Cubelet robots function.
Key Stage 3
Humans vs robots
Will robots ever be able to replace humans? In this hands-on workshop young people will consider how robots are currently used and the potential implications of them replacing humans in the future, before completing a robot arm challenge!
