Education Through Entertainment

40 Years of Educational Entertainment

Posted on Sat, Mar 16, 2019

We are proud to announce that today marks the 40th anniversary of Mobile Ed Productions!

It was 40 years ago today that our founders, Larry Thompson and Norman Seay, had the idea to bring the field trip to you.  It all started with one show, The Amazing World of Light, and from there grew to our present library of over 40 educational assembly programs, including:

  • Animals and the Environment, a natural science program showcasing incredible animals
  • BOT! The Secret World of Robots, a STEM/STEAM program offering live, hands-on demonstrations of real robots currently in everyday use
  • Christmahanukwanzamadan, a multi-cultural celebration of different holidays
  • The Earth Dome, an interactive journey around our planet
  • The Living Lincoln, a stunningly realistic-looking Abraham Lincoln impersonator teaching about his life
  • SkyDome Planetarium, a 45-minute journey through our solar system and galaxy and also our most loved program
  • STEAM Museum, hands-on exhibits suitable for students of all ages
  • Young Authors Day, in which students are encouraged to write stories that are later performed by our professionally-trained mime

40 Years of Mobile Ed

This is an original promotional photo for The Amazing World of Light, which we affectionately call around here "The Light Show."  We did retire it years ago, but that doesn't mean it won't make a triumphant return one day in the future!

Join us on www.mobileedproductions.com/blog for a year-long celebration of Mobile Ed's past, present and future as we discover relics from yesteryear that will inspire the assemblies of tomorrow.  It's going to be a fascinating look at four decades of inspiration to almost 50 million kids nationwide.

Thank you for the business for the last 40 years!  We look forward to bringing the field trip to you for 40 more.

 

Sincerely,

Everyone at Mobile Ed Productions, Inc.
