At Mad Science we are having a BLAST! We pay you to have fun! Build and fly rockets, mix up chemical reactions, explore the solar system, and learn about secret spycraft! You will inspire the next generation of scientists through our innovative activities that show kids what science is really all about.
As a Mad Scientist you will lead students through an inquiry-based discovery method involving instructor demonstrations, hands-on activities and amazing take-home projects that will illustrate how science affects the world around us.
