Event
Can you find the sneaky science behind the tricks and curious objects? This show encourages scientific enquiry and critical thinking skills.
Primary
This experience is targeted at schools with a high proportion of students from groups who are underrepresented in the engineering profession.
This show is packed with science tricks, stunts and puzzles. The presenter Dr Matt challenges the audience to discover the sneaky scientific secrets behind the surprising illusions.
This is not just an awe and wonder show but one that encourages scientific enquiry and critical thinking skills. Along the way the audience will be taught a host of science tricks using everyday household objects that they can go away and try later; extending the learning and providing teachers with lots of follow-up opportunities.
During the show Dr Matt will share his background and love of science.
