Caleb was engaging and provided excellent content to complement our Science unit. The students were enthusiastic and were keen to participate in the experiments that had been prepared. He was well organised and left the room tidy once he had finished. The incursion was outstanding and thoroughly enjoyable! We will definitely book another incursion with Mad About Science!
