Preparing children to thrive in a fast-changing world.

Edventurer is a part-time learning hub in Cambridge offering project-based learning rooted in real-world challenges. Children build the thinking tools and human skills to navigate an uncertain future — solving unfamiliar problems, thinking critically, communicating with confidence and working well with others — alongside strong academic foundations in literacy, numeracy and oracy.

  • Small groups
  • Ages 7–11
  • Cambridge
How it works

Learning Adventures

  • 6 weeks.
  • 1 real-world mission.
  • 1 showcase.

Learning Adventures are at the heart of Edventurer, bringing together real-world exploration, academic foundations and the skills children need for the future.

Each Adventure begins with a bold mission. Children ask questions, build knowledge across disciplines, create their own project — and present it to a real audience at the end.

Every Learning Adventure develops three foundations

Skills for the Future

1. Tools for Thinking

Problem-solving, decision-making & critical thinking

Four children working together at a table on a model wind farm.

Children learn to approach unfamiliar problems, question assumptions, judge what to trust and make sound decisions using reusable thinking frameworks they can apply across subjects and real-life situations.

The toolkit includes age-appropriate versions of frameworks used to solve real-world problems such as design thinking (understand the people you are designing for), computational thinking (break complex problems into smaller steps), systems thinking (see how different parts affect one another) and first-principles thinking (separate what we know from what we assume).

2. Human Skills

Communication, collaboration & empathy

A child standing and presenting confidently to a seated group of peers.

Through projects and mini-workshops, children learn to work with others, understand different perspectives, give and receive constructive feedback and take initiative. Every Adventure ends with each child presenting their work to a real audience. In getting there, they develop storytelling, public speaking and confidence, and build resilience and self-direction by seeing their work through.

3. Academic Foundations

Literacy, numeracy & oracy

ADVENTURE 01 LIVING ON MARS READING Noah Chapter 1 · The Last Seed Ama had never seen rain. She had seen it in films, falling from grey skies onto green fields, but on Mars the sky was the colour of rust, and nothing fell from it except dust. In her hand she held one sunflower seed. Mission Control had sent six. Five had already failed in the cold red soil. "Last one," said her father. "If it grows, we grow food here. If it doesn't, we wait two years for the next supply ship." Ama pressed the seed into the warm soil and sat down beside it to wait. THINK ABOUT IT 1. Why does the last seed matter so much? 2. What would you do while you waited? ADVENTURE 02 PLANET ECO-SAVERS MATHS Hannah Our park litter survey We picked up litter in the park on Friday. 05 1015 20 1896 32 PLASTICPAPERMETAL GLASSOTHER YOUR TURN 1. How many pieces altogether? 2. How many more plastic than paper? 3. If next week doubles, how many is that? 4. Which three types add up to plastic?

Each child follows a personalised learning journey mapped to the National Curriculum, tailored to their level and pace rather than year group expectations. Reading, writing, oracy and maths brought to life through project themes and applied to real problems and real data — with a progress summary at the end of every Adventure.

Our philosophy

In a fast-changing world, children need more than knowledge alone. They need the confidence, skills and sense of purpose to help shape the world.
