Mad Science Shows and Assemblies are designed to amaze and entertain young audiences of any size in a unique way. These shows can entertain groups of 30-350. We bring our own amplification, music, entertainer, and supplies. All we need is a group of excited children and a place to set up our presentation. With our shows, you children can conjure foggy dry ice storms, float on a Mad Science hovercraft, watch a foam factory at work, alter sound waves, and so much more! We offer 5 different themed presentations and seasonal shows for your event. Mad Science Events are ideal for school assemblies, corporate events, community events, private parties, and can be customized to suit any group size, budget or time frame. Whatever your event, Mad Science is a unique way to entertain an audience! We perform dozens of special events every month throughout the year. In the summer, we perform our events almost every day. If you are looking to book an event in the summer, please book at least 3 months in advance to secure your desired date and time.
For the smaller crowd, we also offer parties. These are often done for private bday parties, but can also be customized for an event where there are under 30 children. Mad Science parties entertain children of all ages with exciting, high-energy, interactive shows that come to you. Our Parties are based on the same teaching methods and materials used in our classroom programs, but with even more entertainment thrown in. Aside from the specific material covered, the kids will become very familiar with the concepts of observation, hypotheses, and experimentation.
We also offer Hands-on Discovery Booths and Make & Take Stations. These programs are perfect for fairs, festivals, corporate events, and any other event where many children are expected. Mad Science Hands-on Stations provide exciting, interactive and unique activities for children. Each station is staffed by professional Mad Scientists and filled with interactive exhibits, which will help students understand scientific principles. Our Make and Take Fun Stations give children the opportunity to make their own science project to take home, while learning about the specific science principles that go along with it. These programs can be easily customized and themed for any event.
We just need staging (if desired), a table, and access to electricity! We can perform pretty much any where you put us.
Performances include science demonstrations, music, audience participation, & inquiry based questions
At Mad Science of Maine, we believe that interest in the sciences should be encouraged at a young age and must be sustained throughout a child's schooling. As educational entertainers, our primary goals are to cultivate incredible enthusiasm and a sense of wonder in children. We believe that children are born scientists and are naturally curious about the world around them. It is our duty to harness and engage that curiosity in today's youth in order to help foster a lifelong love of science and learning. How do we do this? We make science fun!
