Go BIG this Earth Day with the Earth Dome

Earth Day is right around the corner, and the educators at Mobile Ed Productions, Inc. are getting excited for spring! Our educators love teaching about our environment in spring when plants begin to grow again and animals come out of hiding. Students and teachers alike can’t help but be amazed by the wonders of our home planet when they experience the Earth Dome. Dive into geography this Earth Day with the Mobile Ed Productions Earth Dome!

Mobile Ed Productions, Inc. has been the leader in education-based entertainment since 1979. Passionate about education in young students, our team aims to make learning interactive and engaging for students of all ages covering a variety of subjects. 42 years later, we are now serving educators across the nation via in-person and virtual educational assemblies. 

Our Story

A school teacher and administrator in the Livonia Public Schools, Larry Thompson knew there was a need to make his school lessons more enjoyable for his students and saw a lack of assemblies available for schools. Thompson, as seen in this photo, was also a televised magician and sidekick to Bozo the Clown known as Mr. Whoodini. After airing the show each morning, he’d run over to his classroom to start teaching (sometimes still in his costume!). His students thought this was so cool! Larry Thompson founded Mobile Ed Productions, Inc. with his father-in-law, Norman Seay, in Redford, Michigan, back in 1979 to bring a little magic to his classroom.

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
