Pre-School
Did you know that children start thinking about their aspirations at the age of 4? Our Pre-school workshops will bring STEM to life, giving families and children the opportunity to learn and play, exploring the world of engineering.

Primary and Secondary Schools
The Common Room schools workshops are designed with the National Curriculum in mind. Our current workshops are: 'Northern Aspirations' - exploring the STEM skills of the region's greatest engineers and inviting students to solve real world problems using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. 'What's Beneath Our Feet?' - using scientific skills to explore energy from coal, the layers underneath our feet, geology and the movement from fossil fuels into clean energy.

Apprentice Heritage Enrichment
The Common Room has developed an Apprentice Heritage Enrichment module which uses materials from our archive of industrial heritage, to enrich their current learning experience and instil pride in North East engineering. Through practical engineering challenges, apprentices will develop their engineering skills and gain an appreciation of the significance of our region's heritage.

Youth Board
Our Youth Board, who are aged between 20 and 30, bring expertise in fields ranging from digital construction to marketing and education. These board members play a crucial role in influencing the content and delivery of The Common Room's core programme. We will harness their passions, experiences and options to inform the future of The Common Room.
