about this event
Doktor Kaboom is having trouble picking his favorite science demonstrations, so he’s bringing them all! Unfortunately, there are way too many to do them all in one show.
The solution: The Wheel of Science!
Doktor Kaboom has built a great big spinning wheel and labeled it with everything from optical illusions to chemical reactions to a homemade hovercraft, and more! At least a dozen fantastic demonstrations ready to go. Wherever the wheel stops, that’s what’s next! Will we turn a water bottle into a rocket or catapult bananas across the stage? Electrocute a pickle or create artificial gravity? Who knows? No two shows will be the same. So, step right up, and let’s spin that wheel!
About Doktor Kaboom Doktor Kaboom is the creation of actor/comedian David Epley. David has been fortunate enough to discover two passions in his life. Science, his first, took him to study at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. His second passion, performing, became his career, and for 20 years David has made his living writing, performing and directing original interactive comedy across the US and Canada. He believes strongly in service, is a veteran of the US Army, and volunteers as an EMT and firefighter with his local Fire/Rescue department.
David created the character of Doktor Kaboom because he wants all students to know three things:
- Science is for everyone – not just the guy in the lab coat or the girl who wins the science fair every year.
- Science is not hard, but it does take effort. That’s not hard. That’s just work, and that’s life.
- Every child is intelligent, creative and valuable and should know that about themselves.
