Rockin' Science
Two spectacular and completely different 45 minute multi-media experiences:

Aurora
and Callisto both combine music, motion graphics, and exciting science demonstrations that get kids really excited about science!

These programs are designed specifically for a
gymnasium or very large multi-purpose room with a gym-height ceiling. Most schools have one or both that can be made available, but if your school does not, please see our Rockin' Science Lite programs.

Both Aurora and Callisto programs feature “large scale” demonstrations that are more easily seen in a gymnasium or larger multi-purpose room and with a bigger audience (up to 500 kids per program).

Geared for K through 6 - explanations are simplified for groups that are 2nd grade or younger. These programs include memorable video, motion graphics and music to reinforce the concepts.

Two smaller groups are better than one large group, and we charge only a nominal fee to add a second show (same program). Most schools choose to break students up into a younger group and an older group; K-2 and 3-5 are a very common arrangement. We do the same program for both groups, with simplified explanations and a little slower pace for the younger group.

Both Aurora and Callisto programs are interactive, and ten to twelve children are brought up to the front to directly help in each program!

Rockin' Science is meant to get kids really excited about science, but we are also experts in "crowd management". While discipline is ultimately up to the teachers (or other adults in charge) we keep the children under control and quiet when we need them to be.
