Mr. Lee was fantastic at our community block party!
Response from Mr. Lee's Science Magic:
Thanks for having me to your block party!
Mr Lee did a wonderful job entertaining a rowdy group of boys. He kept them fully engaged the entire time and did two experiments. I would highly recommend Mr Lee!!
This is the second time we have used him and he was fabulous as always.
The kids enjoyed learning and doing the experiments! Even the adults had a great time watching the kid's faces and excitement while doing experiments!
Mr. Lee arrived on time and the experiments he planned was amazing. It was a community event andthe children were in awe with the foamy gnomes and glow in the dark slime. Mr. Lee was professional and polite. Will recommend him for any event.
Had a wonderful science party with Mr. Lee! The kids were super excited about the experiments. Everything was explained very thoroughly which made it very scientific (like real science not play science).
Mr. Lee communicated about the details of the birthday party and left everything very tidy after he left.
Amazing experience!
Response from Mr. Lee's Science Magic:
Thank you so much for having me to the party! I really enjoyed working with the kids (and one big kid!) and also learning about the Old Country and my heritage there!
I look forward to possibly coming to your daughter's school for a Science Day!
Mr. Lee made my son's 8th Birthday Party 1 to remember for sure! The kids did 3 experiments and they enjoyed every bit of it. Mr. Lee is just an overall good guy! 5 stars is not enough for the service he provided. We really enjoyed you and will definitely be booking again for future events.
We can’t say enough good things about Mr. Lee. He brings everything needed for a great party. We had kids ages 5-10 for a birthday party and every one of them had an amazing time. He captured their attention, taught them so much, and amazed them with science magic! They were literally oohing and aahing. He was great at keeping them safe and engaged and made my job as party host so easy. Book him for your next event- you won’t regret it!
The kids loved the experience! They
Learned a lot, and held on the every word he said. Even as a parent it was enjoyable to watch! Highly recommend for a great educational experience!
Mr. Lee was awesome. We had a classroom of 16 kids and he was professional, kept the kids attention the entire two hours, and did two awesome experiments! Would definitely recommend Mr.Lee and will be having him back in the spring.
Mr. Lee was prepared, on time, and very knowledgable. The children were very attentive and engaged. We really enjoyed having him entertain our group.
As someone previously mentioned, Mr. Lee is a local treasure! We had him visit us in our homeschool group when we heard he had begun including the homeschool circuit regularly and we were honestly blown away. He is engaged and engaging! Our kids have attended his science camps before and they had just as much fun during this one day as they do at the camp. I could go on and on, but he was a pleasure to have in our home and I would 100% recommend him. We will definitely be inviting him back!
Mr. Lee's Science Magic has been a partner of the Bolingbrook STEM Association for several years. Mr. Lee always does an amazing job with educational and exciting STEM demonstrations as well as hands on activities for the youth. This event was a Cub Scout Pack Night! Mr Lee wowed the scouts with the super fun hands-on Foam Gnome chemical reaction activity that illustrates a change in color and temperature as the foam rises to their amazement. We sincerely appreciate Mr. Lee, and look forward to having him back soon! Go STEM!
Mr. Lee is a local treasure. He’s very knowledgeable about the science experiments he runs. He’s very kind and patient with children and has a way of explaining each step of an experiment so that children of many ages understand. The children in our event were completely engaged.
We had Mr. Lee over at our kids’ party and it was great. Everyone had fun learning. Would definitely recommend Mr. Lee for science related fun. Thank you for helping make our party a memorable one, Mr. Lee!🎉🧪🥳
Lee came the day before to set-up for my class. I appreciated his preparedness! He has been doing science programs for over twenty years so he knows all the questions to ask a classroom teacher. He is extremely knowledgeable about everything relating to science. Lee elevated my students' vocabulary by teaching them scientific words and helped them to use this language throughout his presentation. The entire presentation was hands-on and engaging. We did science for a whole day, and the time flew by! My kids said it was their favorite day of the school year!
Response from Mr. Lee's Science Magic:
Thanks Lauren! It was a pleasure working with you and your students!
We have used Mr Lee for years at my kids' elementary school and we also used him for my twin daughters' 11th birthday party. He is our favorite assembly year after year for both the students and teachers! His ability to teach about science to a classroom full of students for an entire day is amazing! The students love Mr Lee and his hands on science teaching/projects! It provides both entertainment and education! He caters each program to the age group of kids that he is working with.
Mr. Lee was a joy to work with. He provided a full day of hands-on learning for my students; he came in to do a day of weather experiments with them as an introduction to our weather unit, and my students have not been able to stop talking about the day since he came. He used relatable and interesting stories from his own life to connect the students to what they were learning, and he used every opportunity to teach them science terminology and concepts, in addition to experiments that filled the students will wonder and awe. The students were physically leaning forward in their seats all day, and I know they will remember Mr. Lee's Science Magic for a very long time.
We had Mr. Lee for one of his science parties. The kids made foam gnomes. Mr. Lee captures their attention, is engaging, and teaches them about science in a fun environment. The kids had such a good times and had a fun party favor to take. He arrives early to set up and brings all the needed supplies. He's a local birthday party legend - we adore Mr. Lee!
Mr. Lee comes to our school yearly. With Covid, that had to end....but it doesn't have to end! It just needs to be adjusted! Our virtual class brought Dr Lee in for his science experiments on Zoom! It was perfect. He had double screens and taught the kids about gravity. I would also say if you are looking to do an online birthday party, try Mr. Lee! Zoom can work!

Mr. Lee does a variety of programs, including Science Lessons in schools, Science Birthday Parties, Science Summer Camps, and Virtual Science Lessons.
School Visits: These are programs on specific topics, such as Light, Chemistry, Sound, Magnetism, Simple Machines, Air, Weather, States of Matter, Heat & Energy, and Electricity. Each program lasts an entire school day (with breaks for lunch, recess, etc.) and is only done in one classroom, to maximize student participation. Mr. Lee typically sets up in the classroom, although sometimes uses a designated room. There is always at least one, and sometimes two take-home projects for the students, as well as a souvenir color-changing pencil.
Science Birthday Parties: Parties are generally 1 1/2 hours long, and are often done in private homes, clubhouses, churches, or other public venues. The birthday child picks two science projects from a list Mr. Lee provides, and everyone at the party participates and takes the projects home.
Summer Science Camps: These camps have been held at universities and schools in Texas, Virginia, Illinois, and Ohio. They are five days long, typically three hours per day. The camps are on a variety of topics, such as Outer Space, Rocket Building, "Incredible Stuff," and Slime.
Virtual Science Lessons: These lessons are shortened versions of Mr. Lee's school programs, adapted for the virtual environment. They can be as short as 15 minutes, or as long as 1 1/2 hours.
Mr. Lee has been doing Science Magic for over 25 years. He has visited schools throughout the Midwest, Texas, Guatemala, Italy, and the Czech Republic. Over 50,000 students have benefited from his amazing presentations, and many have gone on to study science in college!
