Coding & STEM Workshops for Schools in Rutland, Leicestershire & Lincolnshire
Young Innovators Club provides engaging, curriculum-aligned workshops and enrichment days for schools across Rutland, Leicestershire, and Lincolnshire. Our hands-on sessions introduce students to coding, engineering, and creative problem-solving through fun, educational activities. Designed for Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 3, our workshops support the national curriculum in Computer Science and Design & Technology while making STEM learning exciting, inclusive, and relevant for today’s learners.
Curriculum-Aligned STEM Workshops for Schools
Each session is tailored to your pupils’ age and ability, with options for individual classes, year groups, or mixed-age cohorts.We offer flexible formats to suit your school’s needs:
90-minute workshops – Ideal for taster sessions or themed enrichment
Longer day enrichment events – Perfect for STEM Week, British Science Week, or end-of-term activities
Whether it’s a short workshop or a longer event, our goal is to inspire innovation, curiosity, and confidence in every child, while fully supporting your school’s curriculum and enrichment goals.
At Young Innovators Club, we offer flexible and engaging STEM experiences for schools across Rutland, Leicestershire, and Lincolnshire, with options for 90 minute workshops or longer day curriculum enrichment days.
Our sessions are designed for individual year groups, multiple classes, or mixed-age groups, providing a hands on, age appropriate introduction to coding, electronics, problem solving, and engineering.
We offer several different coding workshops to schools, including a robotics workshop, a game design workshop and a sensors workshop.
In our robotics workshops, kids can expect to get experience programming and controlling a robot to carry out a series of tasks. Children will learn about autonomous and human-controlled movement, and will work in teams to get the opportunity to customise their code, and improve it.
​
In our game design workshops, kids will learn how to code a basic game using either block-based code, or text-based code. They will work with their instructor to develop their base project to be entirely unique.
​
In our sensors workshop (KS2+), children will get experience building circuits and coding them to work. They'll consider how these sensors can be applied to solve a real-world problem, and they'll design a prototype.
Our Workshops and Enrichment Day Examples:
KS1 STEM Workshops – Storybook-Inspired Coding, Circuits & Creativity
Our KS1 workshops use storybook themes and play-based learning to introduce coding, electronics, and design. Pupils might guide robots through story challenges, create paper circuits with LEDs, or build animations in ScratchJr. In 90-minute sessions, they complete one activity; full-day sessions explore all three. Every workshop is curriculum-linked and tailored to your school’s topics — perfect for sparking early STEM skills.
KS2 STEM Workshops – Design & Code Your Own Smart Home
Pupils explore architecture and sustainability by designing smart homes with automated features. They code devices like doors, alarms, or watering systems using sensors and Micro:bits. In short sessions, they build and present one system; in full-day events, they collaborate to create a smart city. These workshops build coding, design thinking, and problem-solving skills in a fun, hands-on way.
KS3 STEM Workshops – Engineering for Extreme Environments
Students explore how engineering and architecture respond to natural disasters like floods and earthquakes. They design flood-proof buildings and code working alarm systems using sensors and Micro:bits. In 90-minute sessions, they tackle one challenge; in full-day events, they work in teams to build and test resilient structures. These workshops link directly to sustainability, climate resilience, and real-world problem-solving, while developing skills in coding, engineering, and critical thinking.
