Ages and Dates

Our Immersive Academy team will be hosting 3 separate three-day sessions over the summer holiday period:

  • Year 5 and 6 group – 5 to 7 August
  • Year 7 and 8 group – 29 to 31 July
  • Years 9 to 11 group – 19 to 21 August

Our days will run from 10:00 to 15:30 each day (arrival at 09:45 for registration) and children need to bring with them a packed lunch and bottle of water.

Our Cadet visitors will learn skills and techniques using software and hardware that would be hard to access outside. Visitors will come away with the ability to make their own 3D animations and interactive projects.

Places are extremely limited with activity suitable for each year group.

Price per child is £100 for the three days

Immersive Academy

Participants will take away exciting new digital skills but it will also be a great taste to see if this is something they would like to study further as part of our full-time Immersive Design & Development course run in partnership with Leicester College for learners aged 16 after completing their GSCEs.

FAQs

Space Club LIVE sessions are suitable for children who are currently in years 3 to 11 at school, as of May/June 2025. Please do not book for ages outside of these school years, as the sessions have been specifically created to support these age groups.

Please bring a packed lunch with you and a bottle of water. Everything else will be supplied.

I’m afraid the team are unable to provide supervision outside of the set hours of the course.

We have a maximum of 15 places available each week, so tickets are extremely limited.

No, tickets are non-refundable, however, if you are unable to attend you can transfer your ticket to another child within the appropriate age range. We will cancel any tickets sold over the face value.
