Science busking uses live demonstrations and street theatre techniques as an effective means to engage the public with science.

Our science busking training is hugely popular, with clients internationally in academia and industry, visitor attractions and schools. It is an effective, inexpensive and highly adaptable engagement method which delegates find very rewarding. It can be used to good effect with limited resources and with simple training.

Science busking is the application of portable science demonstrations, used in conjunction with robust public speaking skills to attract, hold and inspire a passing audience with science. The busking happens at summer fetes and shopping centres – anywhere a crowd or small group could gather, participate in science and engage with its messages. Busking harnesses the spirit of play to engage young and old alike with a fascination for and enjoyment of science.
