I applied to work here as an instructor, and the person who spoke with me on the phone about it was named Ryan. I asked if they has other positions during the day available (as apposed to only after school positions), to which he bluntly and sarcastically replied when the kids are at school? I replied saying that I meant are they open starting at 8:30 to host sessions for pre-k age children or kids who go to school online, etc. , to which he replied You mean babies? Babies are also at day care. He was very unwelcoming and off-putting in his tone and I could tell right then that I wouldnt want to work for a person with that type of personality. He made me feel stupid and small for asking questions about the positions available. FYI to all applicants.

This was the best birthday ever! The parents loved it as much as the kids and many were asking for contact info. Thank you guys for saving the day when our plans fell through last minute. Anyone that can keep 10 kindergarteners entertained for a whole hour is a magician! Also, the rocket launch was amazing! My little guy loved it all.

This program was fantastic for my 1st grader. He learned so much and had fun doing it. The instructor was such a great and fun teacher and really took the time to help the class learn.

Mad Science does a great job of engaging curious kids, both face to face and virtually! Thank you for adapting in 2020/21 to keep our kids excited about science!

We used them for my sons birthday party and they were GREAT. Very organized, called the day before to confirm the details and walk me through what to expect. The outdoor party itself was great--Andrea was very engaging and interactive. Highly recommend.

My girls have LOVED the virtual programs! They are 5 and 7 and both work independently during the sessions needing very little help from me. They love it so much they continue the hands-on activities well after the class is over, keeping them engaged and occupied (and learning!). Thanks for giving them such an awesome experience!!

Mad Sciences Spy Camp (the virtual edition) is really great. It held the attention of our child at a time when virtual everything became tiresome. Its a really interesting way to teach scientific concepts (like how reflection works and can be used to see in an un-straight line). And I appreciated that the counselor talked about Harriet Tubman as a spy for good. Would definitely recommend!

Our 6 year old and his buddies thoroughly enjoyed our Mad Science birthday party. Michael was awesome with the kids -- he provided a great mix of fun, humor, wow-factor and education. The experiments were fantastic!! And the cotton candy add-on was a big hit at the end! Highly recommend!

Michael did a fantastic job at my sons birthday party. It was a hit with all the kids. The set up and scheduling were easy and straightforward. The pricing options were clear. Everything about the entire experience was pleasant and ... well... just easy. The kids loved the entire Mad Science presentation. They crowded around Michael to get closer and I guess the only problem we had was trying to keep the kids seated or at least far enough away so that the other kids could also see. They were just that excited. Michael showed up on time and communicated clearly so that I knew what to expect. It was a very positive experience.

Your scientist was great! She made everything age appropriate and kept a group of 20 five and six year old kids riveted for nearly an hour. My daughter was particularly excited to meet a REAL female scientist. :)

This guys got my child excited about going to summer camp and looking forward to the project for the next day. Every time I picked him up he was super excited to show me what he had done that day.I also appreciate A LOT that the teachers are in control of the group, hands on with the activities and aware and proactive about potentially misbehaved children. I brought some not appropriate behaviors up what my child told me about another kid and they were very honest about it and had already taken action with that kid’s parents on day 2! Love this program!

My daughter likes the activities. They make a lot of things. Shes 11, so its hard to find camps that she can still attend and that engage her. Even though shes one of the older kids, she is enjoying it.

My son loved everything! He learned so much & had so much fun with everything Mad Science had planned. There was plenty to keep him engaged & he was excited to share what he’d done each day. I was impressed with each day & I felt it a good value for the money.

My daughter is doing her second year of Spring Break Camp with Mad Science and will likely do a couple of weeks this summer. They do a great job of keeping multiple ages engaged and interested. Last years detective camp was all about forensics - I learned new things! Good quality instruction and reasonable cost.

My son never has a bad experience with Mad Science. He loves every after school class and every day of summer camp. On top of that, the employees are unfailingly cheerful and helpful to me.
