For primary schools · Years 4–6

Every child has a dream.We give them the tools to bring it to life.

The Dream Journey is four weekly workshops where every pupil dreams, teams up, builds and shares their own idea, with Mimi in our safe AI Dream Builder as their creative partner. Based on Alon Braun's books The Mimicking Octopus and The Entrepreneur's Journey.

Why schools choose the Dream Journey

💡
Creative thinking

Every child starts from their own idea, not a set task. Any dream is welcome.

🛠️
Real-world skills

Planning, making, testing and pitching: the steps real inventors and founders use.

💛
Confidence & wellbeing

Children feel heard, help each other, and find the courage to share their idea out loud.

🌍
Positive impact

Pupils ask who their dream could help, and how to make a difference.

Supports PSHE, computing, English (spoken language) and design & technology.

The workshop

Four weeks, four parts.

One 2-hour session a week, following the four quadrants of The Entrepreneur's Journey (Self, Team, Product and User). Hands-on and lively: the activity changes about every 15 minutes, with games, drawing, building and talking.

1Dream

Alon tells the story of Mimi and the real mimic octopus. Each child draws their dream, then types it into the Dream Builder and watches it come to life.

Week 1 · Sensing · Expressing

Octopus-arm games, then children find their crew, give everyone a role and choose three first steps together.

Each child makes a vision board of their dream, asks a partner "What do you see?" and improves it.

Week 3 · Develop · Function

The class final: every child presents their dream in one minute, then gets kind, useful feedback and a certificate.
