A Show for your School
FunThatPops is excited to introduce:
How to Catch a Mouse:
The Ultimate STEM Balloon Spectacular!
Get ready to spark a chain reaction of excitement! FunThatPops presents a high-octane, interactive stage show that turns complex physics into a hilarious, larger-than-life adventure. This isn’t your average science assembly—it’s a hands-on journey through engineering, problem-solving, and the power of "What if?"
Physics In Action
We ditch the textbooks and bring the lab to your stage!
During this 45-minute presentation, specifically geared for Kindergarten through 5th Grade, students become junior engineers as we tackle a very squeaky problem: how to catch a clever mouse.
Highlights include:
-
The Giant Balloon Contraption: Watch in awe as we build a massive, room-filling Rube Goldberg-style machine live on stage using nothing but balloons and brainpower.
-
Simple Machines Made Simple: We demonstrate the power of levers, pulleys, inclined planes, and gears in a way that sticks, showing exactly how they work to solve real-world problems.
-
High-Stakes Participation: Students don't just watch the experiment; they are part of the process! From predicting outcomes to testing the "mouse trap," the audience is the engine that makes the show go.
Scalable for Any Audience
Whether you are hosting an intimate workshop or a school-wide event, "How to Catch a Mouse" is designed to fit your space.
-
Groups of All Sizes: This show is perfectly scalable, working beautifully for small groups of just 15-20 students up to large auditoriums packed with hundreds of eager learners.
-
Multi-Age Engagement: We know how to talk to different age groups simultaneously, ensuring that a Kindergartner is just as mesmerized as a 5th grader.
