An Educational Public Outreach Program
(Seeking Corporate Sponsorship)

Unlock the secret mysteries of Lightning! This educational and very entertaining show on lightning consists of an introduction by SPARKY, the computerized animated robot, followed by a half hour video and then a question and answer session. The show concludes with a spectacular display and live demonstration of over one million volts of man-made artificial lightning and is reminiscent of an old fashioned traveling science show! This show has been engineered for all ages and covers many of the more interesting aspects of this fascinating subject. The show also explains how to protect yourself from one of natures most powerful and dangerous forces. We are a privately owned, operated and unfunded public out-reach program intended to inspire, educate, and promote the advancement of the Sciences.
