SPECIAL EVENT HINTS

The following hints will help make your Mad Science Special Event run smoothly:

1. Make sure that your promotional material clearly indicates where and at what time the Mad Science program will be taking place.

2. Mad Science presentations should take place in a quiet and enclosed room or in an area that is away from distractions.

3. The Mad Scientist will require access to the room at least 30 minutes prior to the presentation to set up equipment. If this is not possible, the Mad Scientist can set up on a table that has been set aside for this purpose and he or she will just need assistance moving said table once the room is available.

4. An ideal event location would be an area with an open space for the children to sit on the floor. If you are adding a hands-on upgrade the children will need to have some working space beside them. Mad Science Special Events generally work best when held indoors. However, they can be performed outdoors, weather permitting, where shelter from the wind can be provided.

5. For each scheduled show and activity station we will require an 8-        foot long banquet-style table to place our equipment on.

6. We may need access to an electrical outlet to plug in some of our equipment.

7. We may need access to a sink and/or water to fill up some containers with warm water and to have a place to rinse out and clean our glassware and other equipment after the event.

8. Depending on the venue, size of the audience and background activities, we may require a sound system and a hands-free microphone.

9. Have the children arrive before the Mad Scientist is scheduled to perform. The Mad Scientist will arrive about 30 minutes prior to the scheduled start time to set up and prepare.

10. Our events are interactive and may involve hands-on activities that are appropriate for children 5 and older. Younger siblings are welcome to watch but generally do not participate.

11. Events are mess free. We will clean up after ourselves when we’re finished. The Mad Scientist will need about 30 minutes time for packing and cleaning up after the event.

12. There are no up front payments, deposits or reservation fees on your part. We do not collect payment until after we have completed the event. We are confident in the quality of our programs and we are certain that you will be satisfied. Please have payment ready after the event is over.

13. Please be aware that a gratuity is NOT expected. If, however, you feel that the Mad Scientist has gone ABOVE AND BEYOND your expectations and you choose to pay a gratuity, please pay it to the Mad Scientist separately from your event payment.

14. A travel fee will apply for events taking place outside of the City of Windsor limits.

 

Finally…

15. BE PREPARED TO HAVE FUN AND LEARN ABOUT SCIENCE!
