Summer is here, and if you're like many of us, that means you now have a house full of kids in desperate need of something to keep them amused.  When Fortnite loses its appeal, wrangle up your kids and some basic crafting materials and have some hands-on fun with these easy science experiments.

Here's all seven videos in our Building Up STEAM series of DIY projects and activities for you and your kids.  These are all a great way to spend a summer afternoon, or they can expanded upon for science projects in the upcoming school year.  (If you like these at-home experiments, you should see our live assembly shows!)

We have a nice idea right here: transform your library into a writers' workshop this summer, and help your students tell their whole universe of stories.  Our award-winning Young Authors Day program turns today’s students into creative authors and playwrights, while also delivering important knowledge about the writing process

This summer, bring a universe of stories to your students’ ears, and get your library rocking with our World Music Tour program!  Join seasoned children’s presenter Guy Louis as he transports your group around the world in this dynamic, interactive 40-minute musical program.

Give your library visitors a new perspective on how seven continents, five oceans, and 195 individual countries can add up to an entire universe of stories!  Our Earth Dome presentation allows students a unique view of our home in the galaxy. This half-hour assembly focuses on the scale of the planet, longitude and latitude, the seven continents, and major cities. Geography has never been so easy and fun to learn!

Turn your library into a planetarium for a day and discover a universe of stories with Mobile Ed’s Sky Dome Planetarium!  With our flexible schedule options and experienced presenter, we're ready to take your library patrons to the stars this summer.

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

Larry Thompson, the founder of Mobile Ed Productions, Inc., age 76 of Farmington Hills, Michigan, passed away Tuesday morning, February 5, 2019.

We are very proud of the wide variety of educational programs we are able to offer schools all over the country, and we just so happen to have three of those programs traveling in a single tour covering topics from science to character building.  Take a moment to learn more about these wonderful (and affordable) assemblies for your students.

Last week, the Los Angeles Times came out and visited our mobile planetarium program at Oak View Elementary School in Huntington Beach, California. The SkyDome Planetarium is our famous portable planetarium that allows students to experience the sun, moon, stars and planets right inside their school! The SkyDome is one of the most immersive ways to teach students about space. With high-quality animations and real-time visuals, this program will give students K-8 an up-close tour of the universe.

The LA Times wrote a very nice article about their experience with the SkyDome program and took some wonderful pictures, which are usually difficult to take inside the dark planetarium. The pictures turned out great, and the article was excellent, truly revealing the goals and the appeal of our assembly program.

Mobile Ed Productions, Inc. is proud to announce our latest educational invention touring America's schools - STEAM Pinball.
