• iOi STEAM LIVE - Autumn Term 2024

    Explorative cross-curricular workshops championing STEAM for KS1 & KS2

  • Thank you for signing up iOi STEAM Live for the Autumn Term!
    This form takes 5 minutes to fill out.

    iOi STEAM Live is an explorative cross-curricular programme of workshops across STEM/STEAM disciplines including teacher training and show and tell opportunities!

    Our workshops provide children with skills of critical thinking, problem solving, oracy, and innovation.

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

    Following feedback from schools, we have decided to merge our KS1 and KS2 workshops for their convenience. Some of our workshops remain KS2 only due to technology requirements - these are clearly labelled. Any questions on this please let us know.  

    There is no charge to participate for schools with over 25% Pupil Premium eligibility. If you meet this criteria we are able to offer a bursary to your school to participate for free. 

    We also have funding for all state schools in Tower Hamlets and Hammersmith and Fulham to participate without charge.

    If you don't meet this criteria please email us at: schools@ioi.london for the fee.
