Digital skills and STEM workshops for young people
Our fun, hands-on workshops help young people explore cyber security, artificial intelligence, coding, engineering and data.
We explore everything from cyber security, artificial intelligence, and technology ethics, all the way to building and programming smart cities, and using numeracy and data skills to win at your favourite sports.
We help young people build confidence, think critically about technology, and feel inspired about the opportunities digital skills can create for their future.
We work with teachers, youth leaders and organisations arranging activities for young people.
We work with:
Primary schools
Secondary schools
Colleges and universities
Youth clubs and community groups
Apprenticeship training
Science centres
Events
and through our online live lessons.
How our workshops work
Our team has worked with thousands of young people across the UK.
Our courses are flexible. We can discuss the timing, format and activities that would work best for your group.
They can be delivered in-person, or online via Microsoft Teams or Zoom.
We regularly deliver to large audiences, with online live lessons reaching thousands of pupils at once, as well as smaller, in-person workshops.
Our short courses can fit perfectly into a classroom period and can be adapted to fit your group. We can run sessions in the morning, during lunch breaks, or on weekends – whichever works best for you.
This is really a fantastic piece of work! It is so engaging and an ingenious link between physical and cyber defence. I learned a lot ☺

Covering all the bases
We cover all things digital: artificial intelligence, computer coding, cyber security, data science, engineering, maths and numeracy, and technology ethics.
Whether you’re working with younger pupils or preparing students for the workplace, we’ll have something to suit.
Here are a few of our most popular sessions:
Artificial Intelligence
The Unbelievably Creative AI Show A fun, one-hour show that gets audiences thinking critically – and creatively – about the future of AI, art, and human imagination.
Using social media safely and securely We’ll tell you everything you need to know, and demo the techniques used by cyber criminals to break into people’s accounts.
Data Science
Defend the Rhino with AI Get hands-on with machine learning tools as we train an algorithm to detect poachers to save endangered rhinos.
Plug In The Numbers Create a proposal for a renewable energy system for your school. You’ll need to work with energy usage data, satellite imagery, and earth observation data collected by NASA.
From pit stops to data plots, let’s discover the maths and physics behind winning a Formula 1 Championship.
How to rig an election What does it take to win the support of the public? Let’s look at the maths, stats, and data behind disinformation, and learn how best to spot it.
The workshop Digital Skills Education developed had a great pace, used accessible language, bright dynamic props and screens and kept the room engaged the whole way through. I think it’s incredibly clever!
