Jamal: Operations Director (on the left) and Christy: Chief Nutty Scientist (on the right)<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0Jamal<\/strong> has been a teacher for over a decade. He is currently on track to complete his Principal Certificate very soon. Despite teaching English, Jamal has always had a love for science and science fiction and is a big Star Trek: Next Generation fan, and his favorite space station is Deep Space Nine. He also named his son after the great, late astrophysicist Karl Sagan!<\/p>\n

Christy<\/strong> is a current science teacher, and in her past life, has worked in a science lab! What kind of lab, you ask? We are not at liberty to say. Just know that there were definitely no extraterrestrial specimens in this undisclosed lab! Anyway, she, too, is a big Star Trek fan, and her favorite space station is the Death Star. Because of her science expertise, she helps out with the various science experiments and ensures Jamal is making accurate measurements so as to not cause any explosions that would result in him losing his fingers…again.<\/p>\n

At Nutty Scientists East Valley we take great care in selecting our program instructors (who play the part of our Nutty Scientists). These instructors have all completed an intense training program that walked them through each and every detail of our methodology and scientific programs.<\/p>\n

Safety first, fun second.<\/h2>\n

We may be known for our wacky presentations, but we can assure you that the perceived chaos is 100 percent controlled. Our instructors are trained to orchestrate detailed experiments as integral parts of their presentation. What\u2019s more, they know how to work with children, keeping their safety at the forefront.<\/p>\n

We never overlook the responsibility that goes along with bringing our instructors into schools and other community meeting areas. From set up to clean up, our instructors are cognizant of every detail.<\/p>\n

The only thing you and your kids need to think about is how amazing it is to be entertained and educated at the same time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0Jamal has been a teacher for over a decade.
