How Magic Makes STEAM Come Alive
We Make STEAM Concepts Come Alive Through Magic. Here's how:
Magic is SCIENCE – Your students won’t believe their eyes with an experiment THEY CAN DO. Safe & slightly insane. I call it the Splash Bag 5000. But they’ll just call it fun!
Magic is TECHNOLOGY – Explore the tools shaping the world: smartphones, apps, and digital platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
Magic is ENGINEERING – Meet Captain Plastic, who explains how engineers design and build the world around us. One of your lucky students will even engineer a superhero!
Magic is ART (Can be done with or without this component) – Discover creativity through visuals, optical illusions and real artists (yes, we bring one with us!)
Magic is MATH – Learn how math and magic intersect to predict outcomes and solve problems - yes, "Mathmagic" is real!
