School Science Shows are a fun and educational way to liven up your school assemblies or events. They are great for up to 200 kids, geared to ages 5-12, are interactive and exciting. Each show features an imaginative storyline and is packed with 6-8 hands-on experiments that children can participate in. We frequently offer schools back-to-back shows if they have more than 200 kids, and offer competitive pricing to suit your budgets.

About Us?
With Nutty Scientists, kids get to touch, jump, yell, vibrate, form and test hypotheses, mix substances and more. Nutty Scientists is a worldwide franchise, brining hands-on STEAM programing to kids in 80 different countries. The Hudson Valley location is owned and run by Peter and Jessica Jacobsen, who live with their two young girls who are budding nutty scientists themselves.
Peter is ‘the star’ of the show and can capture a large or small audience of children with his easy-going nature and silly demeanor, while simultaneously engaging them with amazing scientific concepts. Peter has a Masters degree in Elementary Education and over 15 years’ experience as a director of education in three different children’s museums prior to owning the business with Jessica.
“I love seeing the smiles on kids faces as they get to partake in our crazy experiments and hearing the kind feedback from parents. The kids have so much fun, which makes it all worth it!”
– Jessica Jacobsen (Co-Owner)
