Inventors & Makers and Little STEAMers

Hands-On STEM Workshops, Clubs & Classes for Ages 2-12

Join from School, Nursery or Home

Hi, I'm Laura from Inventors & Makers. Our self-led virtual workshops and clubs are designed to make STEM accessible for you to do from school, nursery or home.

We do all the hard work of planning and teaching STEM for you. We even use resources and equipment you'll probably already have. So all you need to do is get yourself set up and press play on our videos.

Take a look through our workshops and after-school clubs for EYFS, KS1 and KS2, and our home-based Little STEAMers classes for ages 2-5.

"The teachers were able to simply click on their link and use the STEM workshop with their children in their own room. The resources for the activities were easy to grab and low in cost and each activity was age appropriate. The children were engaged throughout and it was very helpful to be able to pause the video to ask their very curious questions and discuss further if needed. They had lots of fun!" (Miss Field DT/Science Lead, Kirkheaton Primary School)

Crazy Caterpillars Workshop for EYFS

Want to bring STEAM to your setting?

Want to get your children excited about learning?

Want all the hard work of teaching STEAM done for you?

Then Little STEAMers is perfect for you.

This workshop is linked to life cycles giving you all the teaching and planning to try out simple and exciting activities in your own setting.

Preview The Workshop

Crazy Caterpillars is a great session to do as you start talking about minibeasts, life cycles and new life in spring time. You can link in with the Hungry Caterpillar story and some outdoor nature hunts as the weather improves. You might even get some caterpillars to keep in your setting and release as butterflies!

We'll be exploring the life cycle of caterpillars as we build and count caterpillar stacks, observe a science experiment to talk about reactions and make symmetrical fluttering butterflies.

"This workshop went so well with our life cycles topic and we all loved having a choice of different activities to try out. The children talked about it for days!"

You'll need 45-60 minutes for the workshop but you could continue on with the activities at stations for a couple of days.

For £59* you can use the workshop with as many groups/classes as you like for a whole school term on your own schedule.

Please be aware that for this workshop you will need to source some simple materials in advance, some of which you'll already have in your setting and others like bicarbonate of soda and vinegar you'll be able to bring in or buy cheaply. We estimate the total materials costs for running this workshop with one class of 30 pupils would be under £10.
