The show is designed to last about an hour, and as we present the show, we can adapt its length and explanation level to match the audience - pre-kindergarteners, or great-grandparents.    If you have a large school or group, we'd recommend two or more shows on the same day, to keep the age/grade range small and to make the groups smaller.

If we're traveling to you:

We should be able to bring and show all of the above demos (as well as a few surprises).  We'll need to know a little about the presentation room and ask that you provide us with with a few items.  To get an idea of what we'll need, we've set up a preparation page.

The presentation is usually best performed in a large room, like an auditorium, gym, or cafeteria.

If you're coming to see us on campus:

We'll need to reserve a room.  If classes are in session, it might be hard to find one, so please give plenty of notice.
