North Star Science School in South Yorkshire is known for our co-created workshops, where local businesses team up with local schools to deliver inspiring workshops to our visitors. More information coming soon...

Amazelab in collaboration with Trinity Academy St Edwards, Barnsley Academy & Kirk Balk

Get ready to unleash your creativity and make your voice heard! Amazelab, Great Childhoods Ambition, and Barnsley Civic are teaming up with Pitstop Productions to bring you exciting, hands-on workshops designed with Barnsley secondary school students, for secondary students. Whether you're into tech, storytelling, design, or performance, these workshops are your chance to explore new skills, work with industry pros, and help shape something amazing for your community. From creating emotions through sound to discovering theatre lighting and generating your own sounds in a Foley Station there is something for everyone. Don’t miss out—this is your moment to be part of something big!

CBE+ in collaboration with Netherthorpe School

Build and Race Your Own CarJoin our hands-on workshop where you’ll design and build your very own car using a variety of equipment and materials. Once your car is ready, put it to the test in a series of exciting challenges: a speed race to see which car is the fastest, a target race to test your accuracy, a distance race to see how far your car can travel, and a final race where you’ll race against your friends to be the first across the finish line!

Esh Construction in collaboration with Notre Dame High School

In this fast-paced, hands-on challenge, students step into the role of a sustainable construction team. Working in small groups, they’ll design and plan an environmentally friendly building — balancing real-world factors such as cost, materials, and energy effciency. Using scientific thinking and creative problem-solving, teams will compete to develop the most innovative and sustainable design. This interactive session highlights how science is applied in modern construction, encourages teamwork and communication, and inspires students to think about careers that contribute to a greener future.

HLM Architects & Gleadless Valley in collaboration with Sheffield Springs Academy

Have you ever wondered what an architect does and how the plans for regeneration of an area come together?   Well in this workshop you will find out what’s involved in a real live regeneration programme on our doorstep in Gleadless Valley, where the aim is to enhance housing, green spaces, facilities and employment opportunities for residents, tenants and businesses.   Learn what’s involved and put your self in the designers and architects shoes at HLM. Get creative and who knows some of your ideas may even be adopted into the scheme!

Forged Solutions Group in collaboration with Oasis Academy Don Valley

Oasis Don Valley Academy and Forged Solutions present a workshop where you will build a balloon-powered car to explore the world of motion and demonstrate the practical application of Newton’s laws of motion.

Land in collaboration with Sheffield Girls' High School

In this hands-on workshop, students will explore how heat interacts with dierent materials using chocolate and thermal imaging technology. By observing how infrared radiation is absorbed and reflected, they’ll uncover why some materials heat up faster than others. With colourful visuals and tasty experiments, this session blends curiosity, creativity, and real-world science in a way that’s both educational and delicious!

UK Atomic Energy Authority in collaboration with Sheffield Park Academy

Join the UK Atomic Energy Authority and work in teams to build a Fusion Energy Campus which produces sustainable, carbon free energy! Can you build a Fusion power plant while managing the environment on the site, the staff wellbeing and the novel technology on the site, all while staying on budget?

Vulcan, CBM Logix, Fastline Services & Agemaspark in collaboration with Doncaster UTC

Year 10 Doncaster UTC Students will be showcasing innovation  and engineering through three interactive STEM activities. Working  with our partners CBM-LOGIX, they will be using a robotic arm to  demonstrate precision control by lifting a model of XH558,  symbolising the convergence of past aviation technology and  modern robotics. With our partners from Fastline Services, the students will also  construct clear box cross-sectional runway samples to illustrate the  layered engineering and materials supporting aircraft operations. Finally, alongside our partner Agemaspark, a working model of the  Vulcan nose wheel undercarriage will be displayed, using hydraulics  to show how pressure and fluid movement replicate real aircraft  landing gear systems, bridging classroom science with authentic aerospace engineering principles.
