🚀 We were delighted to take part in the Brooklands Innovation Academy 2026, an inspiring programme that gives young people the opportunity to engage with science, technology, engineering and innovation through hands-on experiences and interactions with industry professionals.

A huge thank you to Brooklands Museum for inviting THE LAB22 to be part of such a fantastic initiative.

We would also like to thank the schools that participated and, most importantly, the students who joined us for our Vocal Visualiser experience. We hope you enjoyed the presentation and the opportunity to explore the fascinating science of sound.

Throughout the day, we were incredibly impressed by the students' enthusiasm, thoughtful questions, and active participation. Their curiosity and willingness to engage with new ideas made every session both rewarding and memorable.

For the entire THE LAB22 team, it was a truly wonderful and unforgettable day. It was a privilege to share our passion for STEM with so many engaged young learners, and we hope the experience has inspired them to keep asking questions, exploring new ideas, and discovering where their curiosity can lead.

The LAB22 is privileged to be fully funded by PE Limited (PETEX), which kindly highlighted our work in their recent post. Their continued support and recognition are vital to providing high‑quality STEM experiences for children across the UK.

Petex’s commitment enables us to deliver hands‑on physics activities to primary schools, helping inspire future innovators and broaden access to STEM learning. Their partnership strengthens our mission and expands our impact.

If other organisations are interested in establishing a The LAB22 space within their own buildings, we would be pleased to collaborate and support them in creating an inspiring environment for young learners.

This week at The LAB22 brought an enlightening meeting with Andrew Whitby Collins and Karen Bonthron from SATRO.

Their presence highlighted the value of nurturing relationships with organisations that share our commitment to expanding STEM opportunities for children.

At the LAB22, we believe that real change begins with children having access to meaningful, hands‑on scientific experiences.

SATRO’s commitment to widening STEM opportunities aligns beautifully with our own mission, and moments like this reinforce how much more we can achieve when we learn from one another.

These exchanges of ideas are not just inspiring; they are fundamental. They broaden our perspective, strengthen our programmes and expand the impact we can have across schools and communities. Collaboration is how we grow, how we innovate and how we reach further.

We are grateful for Andrew and Karen’s visit, the thoughtful conversations, and the shared belief that empowering children through STEM is one of the most important investments we can make.

If you would like to learn more about our work and our programmes, we warmly invite you to get in touch and discover how THE LAB22 is helping shape tomorrow’s problem solvers.

We were delighted to welcome Councillor Vanessa King of Guildford to THE LAB22.
Her visit represents another meaningful moment of support for our STEM charity and for the work we are delivering to children across our community.

Councillor King explored our space, met our team, and learned more about how our STEM programmes are opening doors for primary schools. These visits are incredibly important for THE LAB22. They allow us to demonstrate the quality, care and impact behind every activity we run, and they help us show how our work benefits Guildford’s families and schools.

Community engagement strengthens our mission. With leaders like Councillor King recognising the value of accessible science education, we can expand our reach and bring hands-on learning to even more children. Every partnership, every conversation and every visit helps us build a future where curiosity and opportunity go hand in hand.

We are proud of what THE LAB22 is achieving and proud of the growing connection with our community. Together, we are creating meaningful change for the next generation.

✨ Transforming Science Engagement Across Surrey: The Impact of THE LAB22

Across Surrey, schools are choosing The LAB22 because they see something remarkable: children becoming genuinely excited about science. Not just during the session but back in the classroom, at home, and even on the journey to school.

🚀 Our programmes are designed to ignite curiosity through hands‑on experiments and practical learning, making science feel accessible and meaningful. Every session is carefully aligned with primary learning levels, ensuring that all pupils, including those who often feel hesitant or disengaged, experience success, confidence, and joy.

Teachers consistently tell us that THE LAB22 brings a noticeable shift in attitudes towards learning. Pupils arrive motivated, participate enthusiastically, and leave talking about science with pride. For many schools, this has become a powerful driver for improved engagement, attendance, and STEM confidence.

🧑‍🏫 For educators, the experience is seamless. Our team manages every detail, from equipment to delivery, allowing teachers to focus entirely on observing their pupils thrive. It’s structured, reliable, and designed to support schools in delivering high‑quality STEM experiences.

THE LAB22 is more than a workshop. It’s a catalyst for curiosity, a boost to school culture, and a meaningful investment in the future scientists sitting in today’s classrooms.

If your school is looking to elevate science learning, strengthen STEM engagement, and offer pupils an unforgettable educational experience, we would be delighted to welcome you. 🚀

🧡💜 Let's do another one...what a fantastic STEM workshop completed. This time, with the Pine Class from Weyfield Primary Academy!

🚀 We loved watching pupils collaborate, experiment and celebrate each step of the journey. Their enthusiasm filled our space and made every activity even more enjoyable. Pine Class, it was a joy to have them with us.

And before heading back to school, they surprised our team with a thoughtful card, a delicious cake, and biscuits (prepared by the teacher) personalised with our logo 🧡💜. What a kind gesture, thank you, Pine Class, for ending the day with such warmth.

EASTER CAMP 2026 – The Physics of Music 🎼

What a fantastic three days filled with music, discovery, and fun!
Our young musicians dived into the world of sound, exploring how it travels and how we can create it in different ways.

Step by step, they built their very own ukulele, a cheerful instrument with roots in Hawaiian culture and a wonderfully uplifting sound.

Each day revealed a new piece of the puzzle, and excitement grew as their instruments slowly came together.

By the final day, it was time to tune up… and then the real fun began! The room filled with music, smiles, and a brilliant sense of achievement as everyone played together.

A truly joyful experience from start to finish!

They also left with their very own personalised ukuleles, with their names engraved using our laser printer.

See you at the next camp!
