Our KS2 Maya Workshops can be held entirely within classrooms. We arrive with two specialists, who will lead themed sessions for up to 2 classes. If working with three or more classes, we provide an activity for staff to lead which children and staff cycle through so that they experience all of the activities we offer during the day.
Our exciting and innovative VR and AR (virtual and augmented reality) sessions are always very popular. Using the latest technology, children explore the world of The Maya. Working with a partner, children will visit important Maya sites such as Tikal, Palenque, Uxmal and Chichen Itza, as well as be able to 'swim' in a cenote, walk through a Mesoamerican rainforest and see howler monkeys or the sacred jaguar as an AR model all in one day trip!
