'Poking Your Brain'
Science Learning Centre North East is pleased to announce its 2011 Christmas Lecture series for children.
This year we have all-round science entertainer and Blue Peter Science expert, Steve Mould!
- Think you understand the laws of physics?
- Steve Mould wants to give your brain a workout with some science demonstrations that are not always what you might expect!
- Come along on a mind-warping tour of some of Steve's favourite tricks of physics, mental mind games and some amazing illusions!
Steve is a comedian and a science communicator, with a Masters Degree in Physics from Oxford.
Steve is heavily involved in science shows and festivals. He is a regular face at the Brighton Science Festival, and the Newcastle Science Festival, as well as the Cambridge and the Manchester Science Festivals.
Steve has performed science demos with chemist Andrea Sella at the Secret Garden Party. He has taken part in a science version of Mock the Week alongside Dara O'Briain, and in Call My Scientific Bluff with Dr Robert Winston, both at the Cheltenham Science Festival. Recently, Steve starred alongside Brian Cox at 'Science Live!'. In 2010 Steve hosted the 'Survival Rivals' awards at the British Science Festival.

"Steve was an excellent host for the SciCast NorthEast Film Awards. A fantastic rapport with the audience and a really natural presenting style. We thoroughly enjoyed working with him and hope to do so in the future." — Newcastle Science Festival
"I worked with Steve on a large awards event for the young science community. Steve engaged with the audience perfectly, delivered a continuously high level of energy, enthused the audience and did it all with a great sense of humour. Great guy to work with and won't hesitate to use him again in the future." — Grass Roots
"The event went very well, thank you. Steve was great, he did a fantastic job; very professional, low maintenance and most important of all – our audience loved him! His style is perfect for our audience (who are primarily school pupils aged 14-16yrs), so we would certainly be happy to use him the future, and will be in touch." — Science Live!
