June 29, 2026He really is Great Scott! His presentation was professional and the kids loved how interactive he was. His patience was evident with our kiddos who were so excited to ask questions about his experiments. We'll definitely have him back with us for another event!

December 5, 2021Great Scott the Glad Scientist went way above and beyond our expectations! We booked him for our son's birthday party and he did an amazing job. He was able to capture the interest and imagination of a huge group of 1st graders with flashy science displays and hands on experiments. It made our son's birthday super memorable and we are thankful that we were able to find Scott and book him for our party. Numerous parents asked us after the party where we found Scott and how they could book him in the future. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anybody who needs an entertaining scientist for any event.

What People Are Saying:
“Great Scott was entertaining and educational. He delighted the audience while engaging their attention during the entire program. The audience was learning scientific facts during his entire program and enjoying every minute of it. Both children and adults were willing participants in actively assisting him in a variety of scientific demonstrations. He was a huge hit and has already been asked to return for a repeat performance.”

“An amazing assembly that captivated the students and showed them how much fun science and learning truly can be!” Jammie Linn
PTA Mom and Teacher Washington Elementary
“Thank you for coming on Halloween. It was fun having you in our class room. We liked your experiments. They were cool."
Mrs. Lots 1st Grade Class
"Thank you so much for coming to visit Sutherland to our 5th graders how fun science can actually be! Students particulary enjoyed the vortex experiment wht the fog machine to illuminate how far the air can really go. This was a great way to introduce weather to my students and they will now have some background knowledge when we begin our the unit."
Mrs. Kazuko Tuttle
5th grade Teacher Sutherland Elementary
"Thank you for coming to our school for an assembly. I really liked the tesla coil. It was very cool. You have a great sense of humor. I wish I was a volunteer though. But I loved the experiments. I'm going to try the two connected bottles trick at home. I'm also going to try the vortex creator at home too."

I really appreciate you coming to our school. The most facinating part of the show was when you put the dry ice into the water, very intersting! I also liked the part where you made the plasma globe thing with the tesla coil. And the Big Grandpa Vortex, Great Scott that was unexpected! I Hope you fascinate more people. Thank You!
