Science shows for Festivals

This has been a busy few weeks with shows in Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan.    Getting Excited About Science will be performed at Kirkwood July 4 celebration.   The summer will end with the show being performed on 3 days of the Will County Fair near Mokena, IL.      Schools are booking shows as well now to get their prime dates reserved.

Each year during late  April Getting Excited About Science with Steve Belliveau presents green energy shows at many schools and libraries

Camp Science Shows

This week I will be in Wisconsin performing for organized school groups at overnight nature camps in Wisconsin.   These shows are an unheated auditorium with most of the students wearing sweatshirts and light jackets.    After the show, the students get to learn about wolfs and wild animals.    The nights end with a camp fire for the students.      This is the second year of performing for these groups in Wisconsin and I will be performing science shows for them Monday – Thursday and a special show on Saturday night for a different group and at a different campground.

Michigan Science Assemblies

Getting Excited About Science shows are being performed for 3 important shows:   Wayne State University (Women in Engineering Day),  Michigan Math and Science Academy (Science Fair) and very  Science Olympiad event at L’Anse Creuse High School.

These shows are for very large groups and 2 of them are repeat groups.    I am bringing new demonstrations and the van is packed tight.    Our shows will be in Cleveland later in March and back in Michigan in May.    We will have several Michigan shows at libraries during the summer.

Midwest Science Fair

This is Science fair season.    Here is an article about Getting Excited About Science helping to increase the number of students participating in the fair.

With the hard work of the parents and teachers we more than doubled the number of students participating.     In addition, we had a great turn out for the actual science fair which included any student from the school, parents, siblings, and more.    It was a “full house”.

This year I will be attending science fairs in many Midwest states.
