Let's face the truth

Getting children to stay focused is tough.

Short attention spans

Live science demos pull focus back. Hands-on experiments turn distraction into learning children can feel.

Lack of motivation

Real-world demos make science come alive — sparking enthusiasm and a deeper connection to discovery.

Overstimulation from tech

Mindfulness practice gives children a screen-free reset. Less anxiety, more presence, better engagement.

The stage show

Ninja Science Academy Show

A personal history of the Universe — with your children front and center

Eight sections of live science, movement, breathwork, and wonder — built to leave kids with tools they actually use.

1

Atoms are Everywhere

What the Universe is made of

We look at a balloon like we've never seen it before. We learn about atoms by blowing it up and letting it fly all over the place. At the end we pop the balloon and work as a group to figure out why it makes that distinctive sound.

2

Dance Party — Igniting Energy

Oxygen, blood flow, and its effect on cognition

Everyone gets moving! A freestyle Dance Party sets the tone of joy and free expression. Students and teachers get their hearts pumping and their jitters out so that sitting and listening becomes pleasurable. In tightly packed rooms we substitute a breathing exercise.

3

Floating Ideas — The Power of Air

Thinking through the behavior of atoms

We use a hair dryer to float a ping-pong ball on a stream of air and challenge ourselves to use only our minds to figure out why. Once students solve the puzzle, volunteers run a relay race passing the floating ball down the line and back.

4

Magic through Chemistry

Molecules and how magic affects consciousness

We perform two magic tricks and encourage students to pay attention to the feeling in their brain. The feeling of magic becomes the object of our study. We also learn the true nature of fire.

5

Ninja Games

Building grit and how to work as a team

Time for the audience to become ninjas-in-training! Quick reflex and balance games build agility, focus, discipline, and teamwork. Science meets movement, and kids (and parents!) feel their inner ninja awaken.

6

Free Flowing Energy

Electricity and heat

We learn E=mc² through a tesla coil. We turn the lights off and pure electricity flows like lightning out of the coil and into a metal pan. We make mini thunder claps, light a fluorescent bulb, and burn flash paper.

7

Wim Hof Breathing Break

Control over our own minds

Before the final experiments, we guide the audience into Wim Hof–style breathwork: deep, rhythmic breathing that energizes the body and clears the mind. A single round lasts only 3 minutes — where science, wellness, and mastery come together.

8

Dry Ice Finale!

Cold, phase change, and wonder

We experiment with dry ice and think about how cold outer space is. We freeze boiling water in 10 seconds, make a cloud in a bottle, and figure out why. Then as a group we give one loud Ninja Scientist cheer!
