Making Science Fun!

Our visiting classroom engineers are skilled at presenting science in a way that makes learning fun. Appropriately attired in a lab coat with reading glasses teetering on the tip of their noses, our classroom presenters take on the role of Professor Know-How; part mad scientist, part detective. Equipped with a vault of specially crafted teaching aids, Professor Know-How unlocks the secret inner-workings of gadgets kids love and use every day. Kids love to take things apart and the dissecting of technology is an integral part of our teaching method. This system allows abstract concepts to be easily demonstrated and understood without advanced mathematics. The TLC program is an ideal vehicle for turning young people on to science before entering high school.

Favorite Experiments

It is easy to understand why kids wait in lines to sign up for a program that is this much fun. It is even easier to explain in photos. Kids are not the only ones who want to take the class. Parents are always asking if we could do a class for them. The answer is always yes! Please send us an e-mail and let us know what you have in mind and we will do our best to put together a lab session just for grown-ups.
