Shows and workshops for schools

We are comfortable and experienced working with diverse audiences, whether that's pre-school children or university academics. We have conducted hundreds of science workshops, talks and shows over the years. Our presenters all have enhanced CRB disclosures. If you don't see what you'd like, please get in touch and we will be happy to discuss your requirements. We love being creative.

Could it be magic?
Inspired by the premise that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, "Could it be Magic?" challenges students to think like scientists and magicians to uncover the truth behind illusions. The interactive show encourages enquiry, using magic tricks to inspire students' imaginative engagement with scientific ideas and technological developments. It also draws inspiration from heroes of science and engineering to discover the ingredients which help make creative people. This is an ideal show to support the "How Science Works" and "Enterprise" elements of the curriculum. Presented by an award winning magician and science communicator.

Staff feedback from recent shows...

This show not only inspired, it was also fun and highly interactive. - Bristol Brunel Academy

An excellent show that engaged 180 students for a full hour! The 'How Science Works' show really showed students how science and magic are related and gave them an interesting insight into the work of different scientists. They also had alot of fun and we have had requests from students for a return visit. I would highly recommend this show and Matt was really good with the students and flexible with last minute requests. - The Holy Family Technology College, Walthamstow

We were delighted to be able to offer the show to our Year 7 classes. It was a wonderful exciting and interactive session, and we hope it will inspire students to learn more about scientific leaders such as Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and go on to do great things in the field. - Oasis Academy Brightstowe

I thought that the presenter had good presentation skills and kept the show very interesting. He obviously has a great knowledge of the subject which came across. The show wasn’t boring and it kept moving along which kept the students captivated. - Bristol School
