In this highly visual, interactive show, we capture student's imaginations by starting with a single point of light. We'll explore how that one beam can create entire images using the science of our eyes - quickly building to a full-blown laser spectacle!
LaserScience is all about the physics of optics and vision. As we play with visual perception, we'll include STEAM concepts and explore motion in movies and cartoons too!
We'll bring out the music, lasers, and sparks to present an exciting and educational show you'll never forget!
Covid-19 Note: We have temporarily discontinued the use of fog in LaserScience and changed our projection style. The show is still just as awesome!
LaserScience meets the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Mathematics) standards as well as the Next Generation Science Standards–PS3.A, PS3.B, PS3.D
What We Might Explore
All of our shows are unscripted. We meet our audiences at their current understanding and seek to follow their curiosity where it leads. Here are some ideas we might explore together!
Persistence of vision
Our eyes hold onto bright images for a moment, then quickly erase them.
How lasers make Light
Lasers are concentrated beams that behave differently than other kinds of light.
Perception of motion
A single, fast moving point can trick our eyes into seeing familiar shapes.
Steam!
How do science, technology, engineering, art, and math work together? What can we use Lasers for?
Light rays and momentum
Light is made of stuff! Light can touch and bounce off of other objects.
LaserScience has a runtime of 45-60 minutes and is great for elementary to middle school audiences of 50-500!
Requirements
One outlet
A dark room with windows covered
One folding table
Lots of curiosity!
We take care of everything else, including audio!
LaserScience is best performed in a tall, dark room with windows covered. The darker the better!
LaserScience can be performed outside in the evening with a surface shine our lasers onto such as a screen, wall, hill, or even a beach!

Our PTO meeting was tonight and your assembly received so many compliments. The parents said that their children are STILL talking about it. Our principal said that the feedback from the teachers was excellent – and 4 teachers were at our meeting tonight who also spoke about how impressed they were.
Thank you very much for an AWESOME show last night!! EVERY one of our campers and staff fully loved it. I was even told it was better than our camp fireworks!
Our kids loved it and were certainly entertained. Everyone was so friendly and flexible too. A highlight for our kids was when our principal volunteered to have one of the skateboarders jump over him while he was lying on a bed of nails–I am sure they will remember that moment for a long time!
Five years later our guests are still talking about the awesome program! The educational entertainment you offer is rare and wonderful.

More than just a light show. Celebrate Hanukkah with a dazzling Festival of Laser Light, while bringing the Hanukkah story and philosophy to life for all ages.
The show culminates with a giant menorah lighting you’ll never forget – each flame glowing with a different color, creating shadows in the fog over your congregation.
