Why bring your school group to Life?
Life Science Centre, part of the International Centre for Life, is a unique educational resource based in Newcastle upon Tyne. We offer curriculum enrichment and enhancement through workshops, activities, equipment and expertise that complement what’s done in schools. We cater for all ages from Early Years to GCSE and provide specialist support for many topics at A-level and beyond.
Make a day of it
You can easily spend a full day here or you may prefer just a half-day visit – the choice is yours. A typical school visit includes time in the science centre plus a workshop of your choice in our education labs – or you can opt for a workshop or a science centre visit only.
Workshops
Life offers over 100 curriculum-linked STEM workshops for Early Years through to adult learners, delivered in teaching laboratories and a state-of-the-art planetarium. All workshops are available on demand and are designed so that both the content and style are matched to the target age group and national curriculum where appropriate.
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Bespoke workshops can be created in order to explore a specific topic - contact us on (0191) 243 8223 or email:

Science Centre
Life Science Centre is a rich educational resource in itself. Its exhibitions add an extra dimension to school visits. In Space Zone, for instance, students can learn about the wide variety of careers in the North East's space industry that they could pursue.
