Science LIVE!
An in-person student conference at Disneyland Paris
Science LIVE! at Disneyland® Paris
Next event – Monday 1st March 2027
Show your students science in action at our Science LIVE! conference. A half-day conference where students will hear from a variety of passionate scientists, combined with practical student activities all within the magic of Disneyland® Paris.
Fun and learning in one!
Our speakers are experts in their fields, passionate about showing learners how science works. By applying the principles they learn in the classroom to the real world, learners gain an appreciation of its relevance to their everyday lives. They will have the opportunity to ask questions and get more insight into working in science during the interactive Q&A session.
As part of the immersive event, each student will receive their own workbook in advance of the event for pre-trip preparation as well as science park challenges to complete whilst enjoying the Disney® Parks. These challenges cover the fundamentals of Science at KS4 and encourage students to apply their knowledge in a new and unique learning environment.

The most popular questions, answered
Students experience science as something active and evolving. Through expert-led sessions, they see how ideas are tested, developed and applied in real-world contexts, helping them understand the processes behind what they study.
Students hear from specialists who bring scientific concepts to life through real examples, then explore ideas further through guided activities. This combination helps bridge the gap between theory and how science works beyond the classroom.
By seeing how concepts are applied in real situations, students build a clearer and deeper understanding. It helps them move beyond memorising content to explaining ideas with greater confidence and accuracy.
Students are encouraged to observe, question and reflect throughout the experience. This approach helps them develop enquiry skills, think more critically and feel more confident exploring scientific ideas independently.
We take care of accommodation, transport and the full conference experience, including event access and student workbooks. Everything is organised in advance, so the trip feels smooth and easy to manage.
Groups often stay close to Disneyland® Paris or at our exclusive Château de Grande Romaine on the outskirts of the city, offering a balance of convenience and space to unwind. Our Events Team will be there throughout, helping everything run smoothly so you feel supported every step of the way.
