iOi STEAM Live
We design and deliver creative learning experiences across Science Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths (STEAM). Our schools programme iOi STEAM Live inspires children’s creative thinking skills, builds resilience and aspirations now and for their future. iOi STEAM Live is a live online workshop, broadcast directly from our studio in London into your classrooms. Schools join us simultaneously from across the UK.
Our work is fully funded for schools who have 25% or higher pupil premium or if you are based in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and Hammersmith and Fulham so there is no charge for you to participate. If you are outside of these boroughs or have a lower pupil premium we can offer a heavily subsidised rate.
When you participate in iOi STEAM Live you also gain access to our Teacher Training platform ImagineED completely free of charge.

Community
It all begins with an idea.
My Big Idea
What big idea would you create using technology to help your local community?
My Big Idea offers a day of imagination for children and their parents/guardians to play, learn, and invent together through Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Maths-based (STEAM) workshops.
Each event is co-created with a community hub partner and is themed around community + a key learning topic, such as literacy, technology, numeracy, or environmental issues. Children take part in workshops led by industry experts and supported by local volunteers. The activities support the development of key skills, and their learning is acknowledged with a certificate and activities to continue the creativity at home.
In 2023, the Institute of Imagination delivered My Big Idea events in Newham and Lambeth with 379 people attending.
