Science clubs & workshops
Bringing the magic of real science to your school
It looks like magic, but it's real science. Our clubs put experiments right in front of your pupils: things fizz, pop, glow and launch, and every child gets their hands on it. We run them before school, at lunchtime, during the school day or after school.
Our specialist science presenters bring the kit, the energy and the know-how. Your pupils go home buzzing, often with something they've built themselves.
See it. Build it. Take it home.Science clubs, whenever suits your school
Before school, at lunchtime, during lessons or after school: we'll fit our clubs around your school day. Session length and booking depend on the slot, and we'll agree the details with you.
Breakfast clubs
Start the day with a fizz. A hands-on science club before lessons begin, so pupils head into class curious and ready to learn.
Lunchtime clubs
A lively, hands-on science club in the lunch break, without taking any time away from lessons.
During the school day
Science sessions during the school day, as part of your timetable. Great for enrichment, and we can link them to what classes are learning.
After-school clubs
Our weekly one-hour club, straight after school. Parents book and pay us directly, so there's nothing for your office to collect.
Science pupils can see, touch and take home
Every club is built around one idea: the moment an experiment works and a child's face lights up.
Real science, happening right there
Pupils don't just read about reactions, they watch them happen. Fizzing potions, erupting volcanoes, rockets and dry-ice clouds: big wow moments, planned and run safely by our presenters.
Build it, then take it home
In most sessions children make something to take home, like lava lamps, torches, telegraphs and balloon-powered cars. The science leaves the classroom with them, and the conversation carries on at home.
Specialist science, brought to you
Many primary schools don't have a science specialist on the staff, and busy timetables leave little room for big practical experiments. Our presenters live and breathe hands-on science, and bring everything they need with them.
Curious minds, confident scientists
Our clubs support and extend science from Reception to Year 8 (EYFS to KS3), and go well beyond it, introducing topics pupils won't always meet in lessons. It's a friendly space where it's fine to get things wrong and try again. That's how real scientists work.
- Topics such as forces, materials, light, sound, electricity and states of matter
- Fresh topics every term, so children who come back don't repeat content
- Small groups of up to 18, so every child gets properly hands-on
- Children learn by asking questions, testing ideas and seeing what happens
A brilliant club, with nothing for your office to run
We bring the presenter, the kit and the booking system. You provide a classroom.
Say hello
Get in touch and we'll agree a club time, day, year groups and start date.
Launch assembly
We kick things off with a lively science assembly for the whole school, so pupils are excited about the club before the free tasters.
Free taster
We run a free trial session so pupils can see what the club is like.
Booking, sorted
For after-school clubs, we give you a flyer to share with families, and parents book and pay us directly, so there's nothing for the office to collect. For other club times, we'll agree the details with you.
Club runs weekly
Once a week, with a fresh topic each term. After-school clubs run for one hour; other sessions fit the slot you choose.
We bring
An experienced science presenter, a launch assembly at the start of each term, all the equipment and materials, booking and payment for parents, and flyers for your newsletter.
You provide
A classroom or similar space with chairs and tables, ideally with a sink, a regular weekly slot (before school, at lunchtime, during the school day or after school), and help sharing our flyer with parents.
See the magic for yourself
Try a Genie club before you commit. We'll run a free taster session and give you flyers for interested families.
One free session per child, subject to space. After-school clubs are usually paid for by parents, so there's normally no cost to the school.

More ways to bring science into your school
Every Genie club comes with a science launch assembly each term. We also run hands-on workshops and STEM-week workshops in the school day.
A launch assembly every term, included
At the start of each term, and when a club first starts at your school, we visit for a lively science assembly with big demonstrations, so pupils are buzzing about the club before parents sign up. It's included with your club, at no extra cost to the school.
Hands-on class workshops
Science workshops for a class or year group during the school day. Every pupil gets stuck in with real experiments, and we can link the session to the topic they're learning.
STEM-week workshops
Planning a Science Week or STEM week? Our hands-on workshops help make it a week to remember, and get pupils excited about science, technology, engineering and maths.
Tell us what you have in mind and we'll help you find the right fit for your school.
Hands-on STEM workshops
A great way to kick off Science Week or a STEM programme, or to bring a topic your class is learning to life. Choose from a wide range of topics, from chemistry to engineering, and we'll tailor the session to your class.
- 50-minute hands-on sessions
- Topics include states of matter, pressure and rocketry, light, sound and optical illusion
- Tailored to what your class is learning
