His weekly experiments and science segments are designed to teach viewers creative ways to make learning fun and never fail to surprise his co-hosts who seem to enjoy an occasional blast from a fire extinguisher or are eager to help trigger a few exploding pumpkins... all in the name of science.

The Institute’s successful model of combining hands-on training for teachers with on-site practice and evaluation with children has attracted the attention of educators throughout the country.
