• iOi Schools Programme - Spring Term

  • Thank you for signing up to the iOi Schools Programme for the Spring Term!
    This form takes 5 minutes to fill out.

    Sign up to the workshops you would like your class/es to participate in. Don’t worry, there’s no hidden costs. Our workshops are fully funded and designed to boost creative learning, problem solving and aspiration building in all children. We ask that you turn up to all of the workshops you have registered for as it costs us money to create and send out the toolkits. 

    We look forward to sparking imagination and creativity with you and your school in our STEAM workshops (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths).
