Although we have run Invent It! sessions from various places over the years, currently all sessions are run from the art-K workshop in Charlton kings unless otherwise indicated.

The session will be run by Rich Gray, an experienced engineering professional with considerable experience in teaching STEM topics to KS2 and KS3 students. Rich holds a Paediatric First Aid and Designated Safeguard Lead qualifications and is a STEM ambassador.  Rich may be supported by a classroom assistant to provide a better teaching experience. All teaching staff hold an enhanced DBS certificate.

Trial sessions are available for the cost of a single lesson (£18). However, booking of these places will be released after the initial course booking goes live to allow any full time places to be allocated first. 

Whilst no prior experience is required, the children will need to have enthusiasm and interest in STEM topics to get the most from the courses 

Of course and actively encouraged! It has been fantastic to see about a 50/50 split in classes so far and they often make the best inventors!

The teaching ratio is a minimum of 1:8 staff to student ratio and a maximum of 12 in a class.

Many of the materials used in Invent It! will involve expensive items such as motors, buzzer, robots, microbits and so it is not normally feasiaible for children to take these home with them. When this is the case, please speak to staff member to be able to view their creations at collection

There is a minimum age of 8 years old. This is non-negotiable and is set by our insurance providers.

We don't advertise all our activties. We welcome any ideas or thoughts to brains@invent-it.co.uk about class ideas, class times or other teaching experiences such as 1:1 tutoring, school enrichment and teacher CPD. Please just get in touch!
