Online chats with Issac Newton and Marie Curie

/

From the creators of “Curie Me Away!” and “Calculus: The Musical!” Matheatre offers a news service in response to the cornoavirus, instead of a live play about science greats Issac Newton and Marie Curie, they offer an online service. A professional actor (with years of experience interpreting these historical figures on stage), will video chat with your child (or anyone in need of a little nerdy pick-me-up), about the wonders of math and science. In period costume and fully in character, Marie Curie or Isaac Newton can chat with your kids and keep them engaged with learning while they’re out of school.. All this for a small donation.
