Scott and Gary have been working in primary schools all over the UK and abroad with
a combined number of years exceeding 35 years, providing fun science workshops and
shows for both KS1 and KS2 pupils. Their experiences in supplying these workshops
are second to none .
The music part played a big part in Gary’s shows as a children’s entertainer providing
circus skills and and magic tricks to music that made the programme fast moving and
interesting to audiences all over the UK.
Between 1988 and 1995 Gary took his shows to Qatar (middle east) and provided shows
in Doha and many other towns.
In 1995 Gary was spotted by a member of BAYS then part of the British Science Association
and turned his energy to Educational workshops and shows. Starting with the ‘The
Science of the Circus’ on the topic of Forces, and then developing other workshops
and shows for topics including Light, Living Things, Materials and their properties
(requested by the Royal Society of Chemistry), Sound and other sub -topics - like
electricity, magnets and all these linked in some way to the Primary School Curriculum.
This then lead onto Gary designing and making science kits for children to make in
class or at home and in his after school science clubs. These included - solar powered
models, periscopes, kaleidoscopes, etc
Gary & Scott are passionate about delivering educational science workshops and
shows that helps to promote STEM activities Science/Maths/Engineering & Technology
OR STEAM by adding art and enthusing young children towards the interest of science.
SCOTT is a full time professional children’s entertainer and has over 14 years
experience in delivering fun shows and workshops all over the UK and Europe and from
2010 has provided many fun science workshops & shows on various topics also all over
the UK -
PLUS since 2013 provided many after school science clubs around Kent and
