  • Pirate School: The SCIENCE of Pirates!

    PIRATE
    SCHOOL!      Welcome aboard, mateys! Pirate School!  is
    in session.  This is a madcap, slap-dash pirate training academy that
    allows both youngsters and adults to discover their ‘inner-swashbuckler.’ 
    Pirate School! is
    a one-man, sea-faring vaudeville show that spoofs the Golden Age of Sail and
    satisfies children’s universal curiosity about the briny buccaneers of yore.

    Unlike any Science Comedy show on the
    high-seas today, “Pirate School: The SCIENCE of Pirates!”
    excites and motivates students grades K-5 with piratical fun while introducing
    simple concepts outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards.

    Historically, seafarers have pushed
    science and technology forward and who better to captivate and expand
    children’s horizons than the swaggering staff of Pirate School!? Concepts
    addressed will include atmospheric pressure, wind and currents, aerodynamics of
    a sailboat (Science), simple machines (Engineering), navigation (Math), and of
    course the flight of a cannonball (Technology).

    Combining important
    educational subjects with the universal dream of swashbuckling adventure, this
    program aims to stir the spirit and galvanize attention with a mischievous
    blend of interactive clown theater, eccentric props, adept magic, a rich
    musical score, cartoon-like sound effects AND SCIENCE! Recommended for grades K-5.
