We hate to break the news, but August is here, and with it, the beginning of a new school year. As the school year nears and summer comes to a close, many of us begin the lamenting process of saying goodbye to the warmer weather, the extra family time, and the rest and relaxation associated with this particular season. Though the start of fall brings us a lot of excitement at Mobile Ed Productions, we know it may also cause some feelings of stress for educators across the country. 

We understand the restrictions being put on schools all over the country regarding school assemblies and in-house field trips better than anyone.  Virtual school works well for some subjects, but the absence of the traditional school assembly is sorely felt by millions of students, teachers and administrators across the country. 

Now, Mobile Ed Productions is offering fully interactive virtual school assemblies!

School assemblies come in many forms. There are in-school programs like pep rallies, talent shows, science fairs, and performances by school bands and choirs. There are also programs brought into school by outside providers such as educational organizations, libraries, and companies that specialize in bringing presenters into the schools to enlighten students in the sciences, history and the arts. Choosing the best and most appropriate assemblies can be a challenge. Take a look at this guide to the best and most popular assemblies you could host at your own school.

“Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.”
—Ryūnosuke Satoro

“Music is a world within itself
With a language we all understand
With an equal opportunity
For all to sing, dance and clap their hands”

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

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
