Science of Wonder is a bookable STEAM assembly and workshop program for grades K-5 that turns kids into active scientists — predicting, observing, and reasoning through big, safe, jaw-dropping demonstrations. Every experiment introduces a real, grade-appropriate science concept, chosen so kids leave with a story they'll actually retell at dinner. Schools, museums and camps book this program to support hands-on STEAM learning in an assembly format.

What's in the program

  • Big, safe, high-drama demonstrations kids can see from the back row
  • Every demo introduces a real, grade-appropriate science concept
  • Prediction and observation prompts baked into every segment
  • Explores crosscutting science concepts: patterns, cause & effect, energy & matter
  • Optional station-based workshop for smaller groups
