Steve Belliveau of "Getting Excited About Science" Assembly on May 18th
At last, "Getting Excited About Science" a science school assembly and science show that everyone can not only see, but understand and enjoy. The aim of Steve's show is to inspire students to get involved in science themselves. Using dramatic demonstration, easy to see equipment, humor, music and audience participation, he brings down to earth basic ideas about air/water pressure, magnetism & electricity, friction, chemistry, simple machines, conservation of energy, sound and color.
Steve Belliveau delightfully combines his university studies (B.S. Engineering) with his skills as a magician to present a show that captivates students and teachers alike. He has been recognized by professional teaching organizations, the Chicago Tribune and WGN TV as a leader in this field.
