Program Information

Both Waldo & Professor Steve have many programs from which to choose, all well-structured & rich in content, allowing them to present one that is best suited to your individual situation.  No matter the program, you can be sure of three things:

Every Show is Age-Appropriate.  Both Waldo & Professor Steve work great with all ages.  Because of the nature of the programs, adults will have as much fun as the kids .  Waldo never talks down to any group (making him a clown that even older kids & adults will like), & Professor Steve never talks over the heads of any group (making him easy to understand, even for the very young).  Whatever your need, Waldo & Professor Steve have a show for you!

Every Show is Action-Packed.  Both a Waldo the Clown & a Professor Steve program are filled with movement, color, audience participation, & fun.  With Waldo, you are going to see the things people associate with clowns, such as juggling, balloon sculpturing & illusions, combined with verbal gymnastics equally as amazing.  With Professor Steve, you are going to witness some of the most amazing science demonstrations you have ever seen.

Every Show is a Learning Experience.   School time is valuable!  You want programs & convocations that are going to teach your group & reinforce the things your teachers are dealing with throughout the year.  The students want programs that are fun, exciting & amazing from start to finish.  That is why Waldo & Professor Steve are such good choices.   Everything that is being done in front of your group is being used to teach as well as entertain.  Every program is high in content & structured so that it is easy to follow by everyone, no matter their age.  Combined with the learning resources that Waldo & Professor Steve provide you & your teachers before the program, you have a time of learning no one will forget.

    Your kids will remember what is being taught long after the show is over because they will be seeing it as well as hearing it.  

Great for Schools, Libraries, Daycare Centers, Banquets, Science Fairs, Scouting Meetings, Camps, Family Nights, Boy's & Girl's Clubs, Classroom Rewards & Incentives, Summer Reading Programs, & Anytime you want a Program that Teaches while it Entertains.

All About Books

Books are amazing thing!  Let Waldo share with your group his love of books as he teaches them some of the incredible things he has learned from reading, such as the history of clowns & clowning, how to juggle, how to sculpt a balloon & how to amaze others with magic.

cat friends
Friendship

Everybody wants friends.  But if we expect to keep our friends, we have certain jobs to do.  In this program, Waldo teaches what some of those jobs are.  Waldo will be dealing with things like showing respect, forgiveness & keeping promises, in ways your students will never forget.

Superman
Be All That You Can Be

Every one of us has the power to be great!  Things like drugs, peer-pressure, circumstances, discouragement & doubt can keep us from that greatness.  Let Waldo encourage & show your group the importance of school & how how they can be their best by rising above what life throws at them.

applause
You Are Special!

A great self-esteem program centered around the idea that our value comes from the inside, not what we have or what we do or what we look like.  Let Waldo remind your group how important they are in ways they will never forget.

Real Love

Real love (the kind that lasts) has nothing to do with feelings.  It has everything to do with our actions toward others (especially people we don't like).  In this program, Waldo will be talking about what real love is all about, what it involves & how to demonstrate it to others.


Circus Day with Steve/Waldo the Clown

Run off & join the circus without ever leaving school!  Steve Walden and/or Waldo the Clown are available for an entire day of clowning & circus education/workshops.  Allow your students to experience the circus with hand-on instructions in areas such as clowning, juggling, tightrope walking, magic, showmanship, etc.

Professor Steve Programs

Experience science in a way that is not only educational, but extremely fun!  Professor Steve doesn't just talk about science--he allows it to come to life through amazing experiments that make scientific principles easy to understand.  Lots of interaction, content, audience participation, comedy & some really great demonstrations ensure that your group will have a wonderful time learning all about science.  You will never hear anyone say that science is boring once thay have spent time with the Professor.

All programs compliant with state science standards.

Professor Steve's Unseen Forces Show

Unseen forces are a good thing.  They keep us & our friends from being thrown off the earth's surface (remember we are on a ball that is spinning at about 1040 miles per hour, & moving around the sun at about 18.5 miles per second).  They also keep us from exploding (messy) or even imploding (equally messy).   In this program, Professor Steve deals with the unseen forces that control us & the world around us such as air pressure, gravity, inertia & centripetal force.  Feel the power of Professor Steve as he, among other things, pulls a tablecloth from a set table without disturbing the plates & cups & performs his famous "Flying Toilet Paper".  Unseen Forces!  You have felt their power--now learn what they are all about.

Professor Steve's Outta Sight Light Show

Hey!  Let's give it up for light!  Wonderful stuff.  It provides warmth, allows us to see, makes it possible for plants to grow, & contributes to our happiness (lack of natural light can lead to depression), to name just a few things.  In this program, Professor Steve explores the world of light, rainbows, prisms, eyesight, black lights & lasers, ending the show with a truly awesome laser light show Grand Finale (utilizing four different red & green lasers, five different lighting effects & 2 smoke machines).  Outta Sight!

fire water
Professor Steve's Wild Water & Fantastic Fire Show

Water & fire.  Both have confused man from the very beginning.   How can the same water that we drink also exist in a form so strong that you can walk on it, & then change into another form so hot that you can't put your hand in it without burning it.  And fire--it's not alive, but it moves & grows like it is.   In this program, Professor Steve examines & demonstrates the different properties of water, ice, steam & fire, culminating in a Grand Finale complete with sparks, fire balls & confetti (presented in a completely safe manner).  One very cool, yet totally hot show!

Professor Steve's Crazy Kitchen Laboratory Show

Looking for a science laboratory where you can conduct wildly amazing experiments?  Look no further than your kitchen.  In this program, Professor Steve teaches the science of chemistry, air pressure, friction & electricity, using things that you find in the kitchen.  You will witness amazing things, including the power of alka-seltzer rockets & the wonder of FrankenPickle.  Bring your appetites (for knowledge) & feed your brain on what the Professor is serving up.

Professor Steve's Reasons to Say No Show

Our bodies are amazing things!  Treat them right & put good things into them, they work like finely tuned machines.  Mistreat them & put garbage into them, they begin to break down.  In this program, Professor Steve explores & demonstrates what things like smoking, drinking, drugs & junk food do to our bodies.  Your kids will not just hear about the dangers & effects of harmful substances--they will actually see the gross results.  This program works great with all age groups, even Kindergarten & elementary age youth.

Professor Steve's Science of the Circus Show

Step right up!  You've been to the circus, tasted the food, smelled the smells & marveled at the tightrope walkers, the trapeze artists, the jugglers & the man shot from the cannon, to name just a few.   Now get ready to learn how science allows it all to happen.   In this program, Professor Steve takes your group into the world of the big top & explains it all from a scientific standpoint.  Come one, come all, as Professor Steve dazzles your group with amazing demonstrations of juggling, cotton candy making, tightrope walking &, last but not least, the dreaded stool of nails!

Mentos Fountain
Professor Steve's Super Sweet Soda Pop Show

We love our soda pop!  The average American drinks over 50 gallons (577 cans) of soda a year.  That means that we are consuming over 50 pounds of sugar a year, which in turn produces about 25 pounds of weight gain each year.  Soft drinks are a big part of our lives & our diets, so lets embrace them & learn about science from them.  In this program, Professor Steve uses full cans, empty cans, & the liquid contained within the cans, to learn about air pressure, our health, burping, buoyancy & reactions.  Drink in amazing demonstrations such as the "Incredible Can Crush" & the Magnificent "Mentos Fountain".  Cheers!

optical illusion
Professor Steve's Optical Illusion Show

It has been said that “seeing is believing”.  Actually, that statement is incorrect.  Because of the way our eyes & brain are made & constructed, we can’t always trust our eyes.  The world is full of things that are not what they seem.  That is what this show is all about.  In this program, Professor Steve combines his favorite optical illusions with some of his favorite magic tricks.  The result is a very fun & interactive way of learning about how & why optical illusions work.  You will rub your eyes in disbelief as you witness an audience member getting a sword pushed through their head, Professor Steve's head inflating & deflating like a balloon & other seemingly impossible sights.  Seeing is not always believing!  

glass shatter
Professor Steve's Super Sonic Sound Show

Our sense of hearing is one of the most important senses we possess.  We rely on our ears every moment of every day to help keep us safe, for communicating with others & for the enjoyment of things like music, movies & television.  But our sense of hearing is also the most delicate of all the senses.  We can do irreparable harm to our ears if we aren’t careful (watch those iPod volume settings!).  In this program, Professor Steve establishes the fact that "sound = vibration" (both at the point of origin & then in our heads), then proceeds to cause a multitude of things to vibrate & bring forth sound.  Put your fingers in your ears as we fill the air with sounds from vibrating glasses, metal rods, guitar strings, steel pipes, etc., & then push sound to the max as we shatter a wine glass.  You heard me!

whoopee
Professor Steve's Amazing Air Show

Air.  You can't see it, but you know it's there.  It keeps us alive.  It controls the weather.  It holds everything in this world together with its' power.  And it makes for some really cool toys!  In this program, Professor Steve teaches some of the scientific principals of air & air pressure.   Your group will have a great time learning about air, & at the same time learn about the mysteries of the toys they play with every day.  Great for all ages, especially younger kids.


Science Day with Professor Steve

Looking for science education on a large scale?  Professor Steve can be yours for the entire day, making it possible to combine convocations, small group activities & classroom visitations all on the same visit.  A great way to get a lot of professor Steve at a price you can afford.
