Both Waldo & Professor Steve have many programs from which to
choose,
all well-structured & rich in content, allowing them to present
one that is
best suited to your individual situation.
Your kids will remember what
is being taught long after the show is over because they will be seeing it as well as
hearing it.
Great for Schools, Libraries, Daycare Centers, Banquets, Science Fairs,
Scouting Meetings, Camps, Family Nights, Boy's & Girl's Clubs, Classroom Rewards &
Incentives, Summer Reading Programs, & Anytime you want a Program that Teaches while
it Entertains.
You say you want a
school or library program that teaches character education, values & love of
books in a memorable way? You say you want a convocation that is both fun
& educational? You say you like clowns? You are in luck, my friend!
A Waldo the Clown show is filled with action, color, excitement, teaching,
audience participation & fun. You will witness incredible demonstrations
of juggling, balloon sculpturing, magic effects & clowning skill, all used to
illustrate & clarify the important points of the program. Topics such as
self-esteem, friendship, respect of others & the importance of books (to name
just a few) are visualized, making them exciting & new. Waldo the Clown
will entertain you, mystify you & make you laugh. He will also effectively
teach you & your students like you have never seen it done before.
All programs compliant with current
character education curriculum.
Books are amazing thing! Let Waldo share
with your group his love of books as he teaches them some of the incredible
things he has learned from reading, such as the history of clowns & clowning,
how to juggle, how to sculpt a balloon & how to amaze others with magic.
Everybody wants friends. But if we expect to
keep our friends, then there are certain jobs that we have to do. A real
friend shows respect. A real friend forgives their friends when they get
mad at them. A real friend always keeps his promises. In this program, Waldo
teaches what friendship is all about & how to keep the friends we have.
Real love (the kind that lasts) has nothing to do
with feelings. It has everything to do with our actions toward others (especially
people we don't like). In this program, Waldo will be talking about what real love
is all about, what it involves & how to demonstrate it to others.
A great self-esteem program centered around the
idea that our value comes from the inside, not what we have or what we do or what we look
like. Let Waldo remind your group how important they are in ways they will never
forget.
Every one of us has the power to be great! Things like
drugs, peer-pressure, circumstances, discouragement & doubt can keep us from that greatness.
Let Waldo encourage & show your group the importance of school & how how they can be their best by rising
above what life throws at them.
A great self-esteem program centered around the
idea that our value comes from the inside, not what we have or what we do or what we look
like. Let Waldo remind your group how important they are in ways they will never
forget.
Run off & join the circus without ever leaving
school! Steve Walden and/or Waldo the Clown are available for an entire
day of clowning & circus education/workshops. Allow your students to
experience the circus with hand-on instructions in areas such as clowning,
juggling, tightrope walking, magic, showmanship, etc.
Professor Steve Programs
Experience science in a way that is not
only educational, but extremely fun! Professor Steve doesn't just talk
about science--he allows it to come to life through amazing experiments that
make scientific principles easy to understand. Lots of interaction,
content, audience participation, comedy & some really great demonstrations
ensure that your group will have a wonderful time learning all about science.
You will never hear anyone say that science is boring once they have spent time
with the Professor.
All programs compliant with state
science standards.
Hey! Let's give it up for light!
Wonderful stuff. It provides warmth, allows us to see, makes it possible
for plants to grow, & contributes to our happiness (lack of natural light can
lead to depression), to name just a few things. In this program, Professor
Steve explores the world of light, rainbows, prisms &
lasers, all combined with music, resulting in one truly awesome & exciting
program. Thirteen different lasers, five different lighting effects, fog machines
& the dreaded disco ball. Outta Sight!
Unseen forces are a good thing. They keep us & our friends
from being thrown off the earth's surface (remember we are on a ball that is spinning at
about 1040 miles per hour, & moving around the sun at about 18.5 miles per
second). They also keep us from exploding (messy) or even imploding (equally messy).
In this program, Professor Steve deals with the unseen forces that control us &
the world around us such as air pressure, gravity, inertia & centripetal force.
Feel the power of Professor Steve as he, among other things, pulls a tablecloth
from a set table without disturbing the plates & cups & performs his famous
"Flying Toilet Paper". Unseen Forces! You have felt their power--now learn what they are all about.
Get ready for one of the hottest shows you
have ever seen! In this program, Professor Steve will examine & demonstrate the
different properties of water, ice, steam & fire. See the amazing power of
snow! Watch a real steam engine run! Witness the explosive power of the
"alcohol bottle". Learn how to protect yourself from the effects of fire.
These & many other awesome experiments will be presented, so don't miss out. Be
there when Professor Steve shows you just how amazing water & fire can be.
Looking for a science laboratory where you can conduct wildly amazing
experiments? Look no further than your kitchen. In this program, Professor
Steve teaches the science of chemistry, air pressure, friction & electricity, using
things that you find in the kitchen. You will witness amazing things, including the
power of Alka-Seltzer rockets & the wonder of FrankenPickle. Bring your appetites (for knowledge) & feed your brain on
what the Professor is serving up.
Get ready to be dazzled with awesome demonstrations of
electrical power! In this program, Professor Steve will teach you the basics of
electricity with talk of circuits, volts, amps & watts, thrill you with stories
of scientists such as Ben Franklin, Nikola Tesla & Luigi Galvani (the original
Dr. Frankenstein), & amaze you with demonstrations of electrical devices such as
the Wimshurst Generator, the Van de Graaff Electrostatic Generator & the Tesla
Coil. This is a program you will never forget!
Step right up! You've been to the circus, tasted
the food, smelled the smells & marveled at the tightrope walkers, the
trapeze artists, the jugglers & the man shot from the cannon, to name just a few.
Now get ready to learn how science allows it all to happen.
In this program, Professor Steve takes your group into the world of the big top
& explains it all from a scientific standpoint. Come one, come all, as
Professor Steve dazzles your group with amazing demonstrations of juggling,
cotton candy making, tightrope walking &, last but not least, the dreaded stool
of nails!
Air. You can't see it, but you know it's there. It keeps us
alive. It controls the weather. It holds everything in this world together
with its' power. And it makes for some really cool toys! In this program,
Professor Steve teaches some of the scientific principals of air & air pressure.
Your group will have a great time learning about air, & at the same time learn
about the mysteries of the toys they play with every day. Great for all
ages, especially younger kids.
It has been said that "seeing is believing". Actually, that statement
is incorrect. Because of the way our eyes & brain are made & constructed,
we can't always trust our eyes. The world is full of things that are not
what they seem. That is what this show is all about. In this
program, Professor Steve combines his favorite optical illusions with some of
his favorite magic tricks. The result is a very fun & interactive way of
learning about how & why optical illusions work. You will rub your eyes in
disbelief as you witness an audience member getting a sword pushed through their
head, Professor Steve's head inflating & deflating like a balloon & other
seemingly impossible sights. Seeing is not always believing!
A fun show with a spooky theme that works all
year round (not just limited to Halloween). In this program, Professor
Steve's will demonstrate & teach your group amazing science, all wrapped around
the world of skeletons, laboratories & monster movies. Witness the high-tech way of launching toilet paper,
not with your arm, but with a leaf blower. Discover the principles of
gravity as we drop candy filled trick-or-treat bags. Learn the history of
Frankenstein as we produce 500,000 volts of electricity from a Tesla Coil.
These & other amazing science experiments await. Great for all
ages!
We love our soda pop! The average American drinks over
50 gallons (577 cans) of soda a year. That means that we are consuming
over 50 pounds of sugar a year, which in turn produces about 25 pounds of weight
gain each year. Soft drinks are a big part of our lives & our diets, so
lets embrace them & learn about science from them. In this program,
Professor Steve uses full cans, empty cans, & the liquid contained within the
cans, to learn about air pressure, our health, burping, buoyancy & reactions.
Drink in amazing demonstrations such as the "Incredible Can Crush" & the
Magnificent "Mentos Fountain". Cheers!
Our sense of hearing is
one of the most important senses we possess. We rely on our ears every
moment of every day to help keep us safe, for communicating with others & for
the enjoyment of things like music, movies & television. But our sense of
hearing is also the most delicate of the senses. We can do irreparable
harm to our ears if we aren't careful (watch those iPod volume settings!).
In this program, Professor Steve establishes the fact that "sound = vibration"
(both at the point of origin & then in our heads), then proceeds to cause a
multitude of things to vibrate & bring forth sound. Put your fingers in
your ears as we fill the air with sounds from vibrating glasses, metal rods,
guitar strings, steel pipes, etc, & then push sound to the max as we shatter a
wine glass. You heard me!
Our bodies are amazing things! Treat them right & put good
things into them, they work like finely tuned machines. Mistreat them & put
garbage into them, they begin to break down. In this program, Professor Steve
explores & demonstrates what things like smoking, drinking, drugs & junk food do
to our bodies. Your kids will not just hear about the dangers & effects of
harmful substances--they will actually see the gross results. This program
works great with all age groups, even Kindergarten & elementary age youth.
Especially great for Red Ribbon Week activities.
"My name is
Michelle Woodward and I am the elected prosecutor in Lawrence County, Indiana.
Each year during Red Ribbon Week, we plan a presentation to take into the
elementary schools and the middle schools to encourage the kids to say no to
drugs, alcohol and tobacco. For the past two years we have partnered with
Hoosier Uplands and arranged to have Professor Steve be the presenter. The
first year we did a program about not smoking. He showed the kids, by
using science, why they should never start smoking. This year the program
was about alcohol. He showed them how powerful alcohol was and why it does
not have any business in our bodies. The kids, teachers and administrators
loves the presentations. Professor Steve is really able to hold the kids'
attention, entertain and teach them all at the same time. I would highly
recommend Professor Steve for any presentation to youth."
On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy
presented his dream before a joint session of Congress: we would send a man to
the moon by the end of the decade. That dream became a reality on July 20,
1969, when astronaut Neil Armstrong made his "giant leap for mankind.
President Kennedy dreamed big, but so did many
others before him. In this program, Professor Steve will deal with some of
those who dreamed about flying like the birds & laid the groundwork needed to
make space travel a reality. We will explore the inventions of DaVinci,
the machines of the Wright Brothers & what it takes to actually leave the
ground. Plus, we will witness poor Mr. Marshmallow as he expands to twice
his size in the hazardous vacuum chamber.
Looking for science education on a large
scale? Professor Steve can be yours for the entire day, making it possible
to combine convocations, small group activities & classroom visitations all on
the same visit. A great way to get a lot of Professor Steve at a price you
can afford.
