STEM Education
Hands-on inspiration across
science, technology, engineering, and maths.
Model Britain is where future inventors, problem-solvers, and scientists get inspired. Our miniature working systems – from transport networks to smart cities – bring STEM to life in ways the classroom alone can’t. Designed to support learning across KS1 to KS4, our exhibits promote inquiry, creativity, and applied learning in every corner of the attraction.
🎯 Curriculum Connections
Model Britain supports key areas of STEM education:

  • Simple and complex machines in motion

  • Energy systems and sustainability

  • Forces, friction, and motion

  • Structures, design, and materials

  • Circuits, lights, and automation

  • Measurement, ratios, and data interpretation

  • Coding logic and real-world robotics

These topics are visualised through interactive models, moving displays, and behind-the-scenes tech demonstrations.
🏛️ Immersive Dioramas and Exhibits
  • Miniature Transport Lab – Working models of trains, monorails, and automated vehicles demonstrate forces, power, and design.
  • Engineering Zone – See how bridges, tunnels, cranes, and machines are built and operate in scale.
  • Smart City in Motion – Explore a fully animated sustainable city powered by solar, wind, and water, complete with traffic lights, sensors, and delivery bots.
  • Lighting the Future – An interactive display of circuits, switches, and LEDs within scaled architecture.
  • Maths in Action – Hidden puzzles and data visualisation challenges embedded throughout the attraction.
🧑‍🏫 Teacher Resources and Learning Outcomes
Each STEM-focused school visit includes:

  • Key Stage-specific lesson guides

  • Engineering and maths challenge worksheets

  • Observation checklists for scientific inquiry

  • Optional STEM workshop add-ons with qualified educators

We align with UK STEM curriculum targets and promote real-world application of classroom topics.
