The art of Science brings a creative approach to Science, Technology and Maths. Traditionally known as STEM, incorporating the arts in these subjects is gathering momentum and many are looking at these subjects as STEAM – putting the arts into STEM.
We work with schools to help spark children’s natural curiosity and learn by doing.
The Creation Station ‘Art of Science’ school workshops have been developed to support children at different ages and stages.
Here is an overview of some of the most popular art of science creative school workshops:

How We Work With You
Typically we work with you to help identify your key objectives for your pupils and we can tailor activities to meet your needs. Activities can be combined to create full art days. Alternatively, further enrichment and curriculum-based activities can be recommended and year groups can be combined if numbers permit.
Our workshops are developed in line with current curriculum requirements and with advice and support from educational experts. All of our Creation Station leaders are DBS checked, safeguarding trained, first aid and health and safety trained. All activities and products are assessed for safety and tried and tested with a risk assessment carried out in situ.
Workshops do get booked up quickly so if you would like to enquire about availability please contact us.
