Birthday Parties   

"I wanted to write to tell you what a fantastic show Dr. Don put on for the kids. The group ranged in age a bit, so I was concerned about the show keeping their attention for the entire hour. As you can see from the enclosed photos, they were enthralled the entire time. The adults were equally entertained and many walked away saying what a fantastic show that was and how much they learned themselves. Thanks to your team at Mad Science, Ryan had the best birthday party ever and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a fun and unique way to entertain a group of kids."

"My wife and I were extremely impressed with Dr. Don as were all of the parents of the children who showed up. Truly the best party we've ever given to our children to date. Thanks!"

"Angela was absolutely great!!!! The party was great and we will definitely book again next year for our daughter and recommend you guys to other parents. Great value and great party!!!"

- Elena G., San Diego, CA

"I had never seen a Mad Science party before, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. This party exceeded all of my expectations! Don was fantastic and kept the kids and adults interested and laughing the entire time. I have had 3 parents tell me their children can't stop raving about the party. I would definitely encourage other parents to have a mad science party - it was fantastic!"

- Kristin W., San Diego, CA

"I was happy that when the scientist left, there was no mess and her positive attitude was a great role model for 5th graders. Their teacher, whose daughter was there, emailed us that the kids in class could not stop saying, "It was the best party they ever attended." Best regards to Mad Science!"

Assemblies

"The San Diego Section of the American Chemical Society is keenly interested in doing what we can to encourage science literacy of our school children.  For many years we have supported a variety of educational programs. In recent years we have sponsored more than 200 assemblies for 4th and 5th graders in elementary schools throughout San Diego County.  Mad Science of San Diego has been a great partner in producing and performing these shows for us.  Anytime I attend one of our sponsored shows, I can sense the enthusiam and enjoyment the young people have toward learning science through a Mad Science show."

- Tom Beattie, Ph.D., ACS San Diego Section Program Manager

"We have always been so pleased with the quality of information and performance of the "Mad Scientists". It is not easy to hold the attention of 65 children ages 4-5 years old for 45 minutes, and yet your program is so developmentally appropriate and exciting, the children absolutely loved it! Thanks for helping us "light the fire" for future learning!"

- Tina H., Preschool Director at Mt. Olive Preschool, Poway, CA


Science Nights

“My 3rd - 6th graders had a blast at our Mad Science Night. They have asked when are you coming back. We have another Mad Science assembly set up this week – can’t wait!!”

– Laurie P., Teacher at Balboa Elementary, San Diego Unified School District

“I would like to start off by saying ‘WOW’ great show, all of the people [Mad Science instructors] that were here were all very patient and professional. I would recommend this program to anyone. The students and parents could not stop talking about it the next day. The things the children each got to share were amazing. We had 400 participants and everything went smoothly. The Mad Science Night was a big success and we are already planning our next event. I would like to say thank you to all of the scientists that participated. See you all at the next event.”

– Gracie L., PTA at Veterans Elementary, Chula Vista School District

“The kids loved it! We had a really great turn out and the kids would not stop talking about it.”
