The LAB22

Welcome to The LAB22 – Guildford, UK Step inside our bespoke science laboratory designed especially for primary school children, where curiosity leads the way and imagination knows no limits. Best of all: the programme comes at no cost to primary schools. TheLAB22.com

STEM for all! 🚀 What a privilege for The LAB22 to be invited to the SEND day event at Brooklands Museum. After a short tour of the museum, we were ready to run one of the three activities provided to the school groups. The LAB22 ran a short lesson on tension and how this connected to potential energy which is then converted to kinetic energy in catapults after which each child built their own catapult. The day for the children included a tour of the museum, a workshop to create a ‘catcher’ for the final activity and then a group activity to determine how to achieve a consistent arc and distance to aim ping pong balls into the catchers. Many smiles, happy squeals and learning objectives later, the children left after an informative and creative day. Well done to Brooklands Museum for organizing a successful event, we look forward to many more.🥳🤩 @BrooklandsMuseu #STEMforAll #stemeducation #HandsOnLearning #brooklandsmuseum #makinglearningfun #sendeducation #InclusiveSTEM #EducationForEveryone #TheLAB22

EASTER CAMP 2026 – The Physics of Music 🎼 What a fantastic three days filled with music, discovery, and fun! Our young musicians dived into the world of sound, exploring how it travels and how we can create it in different ways. Step by step, they built their very own ukulele, a cheerful instrument with roots in Hawaiian culture and a wonderfully uplifting sound. Each day revealed a new piece of the puzzle, and excitement grew as their instruments slowly came together. By the final day, it was time to tune up… and then the real fun began! The room filled with music, smiles, and a brilliant sense of achievement as everyone played together. A truly joyful experience from start to finish! They also left with their very own personalised ukuleles, with their names engraved using our laser printer. See you at the next camp!

EASTER CAMP 2026 – Construction & Architecture 🏗️ What an incredible three days of learning, laughter, and creativity! It was amazing to watch the children grow in confidence, teamwork, and imagination. Their enthusiasm and engagement truly made this camp special. Each day brought a brand-new challenge: after a powerful earthquake, a mysterious new island was created, and our young builders had important missions ahead! From designing bridges to reach the island, to building earthquake-resistant homes and platforms, and even creating parachutes to deliver supplies, there was never a dull moment. Our constructors absolutely blew us away with their creativity and problem-solving skills! We hope everyone had as much fun as we did and learned loads along the way. To top it all off, our young scientists even took home a little rabbit to use with their parachutes, printed on our 3D printer.🐇 See you at the next camp!

Since opening our doors, THE LAB22 has been on an incredible journey across Guildford and the surrounding community. In just 3 months, we have already reached: 🔹 600+ children 🔹 700+ hands-on physics experiments 🔹 Working with local primary schools Behind every number is a child who discovered science. Children who built their first structure, tested their first hypothesis, worked as part of a team, and said: "I can do this." As a charity, all of our sessions are fully funded, ensuring that every primary school in Guildford and the surrounding areas can access high-quality, hands-on physics experiments, regardless of background or budget, at no cost. And this is only the beginning. If you are a primary school in our area, we would love to receive you. Together, we are inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers and big thinkers 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬 Contact us: enquiries@thelab22.com #Guildford #SurreySchools #STEMforChildren #PhysicsForAll #CharityImpact #PrimaryEducation #stemeducation #STEM

Have a brilliant half-term, everyone!✨ Don’t forget to complete the alien mission to claim your reward 👽 you won’t want to miss it! 🚀 See you in our next topic! 😊
