My 8 year old son and I attended a birthday party where the Catch The Science Bug attended...She was absolutely amazing, she was able to hold the attention of more than 15 7-8 year old boys for more than 1 1/2 hours..And the boys loved it...They were having so much fun with all the fun ways she had them doing experiments they didn't even know they were learning..As she was getting ready to leave the party my son told her that "science was now his favorite subject"...And he didn't forget her "Science Bug" Volkswagon Beetle...She let them all takes pictures with it before leaving... He thought that was so cool..
I thought this program was extremely educational. I got to observe the teaching in several classrooms at our kids elementary school. Even a year later the kids are still talking about the program and the things they learned. I was also fortunate enough to watch the taping of one of the episodes of this show. The host asked very educational questions which were geared towards the children so they could understand the answers and it was entertaining to keep their interest. I would highly recommend this program it helps the kids learn and peaks their interest in science.
My experience with Kim Brent and her staff was a very positive one. Catch the Science Bug filmed engineers (including me) at my company for a segment on Engineering. While working with Kim, she displayed a professional, dynamic and enthusiastic personality, one that wanted to engage with and expose children to different topics. I was even able to share with my children's Cub Scout group the show on Engineering. It ideally complimented my hands-on demonstration by visually explaining the concepts I verbally explained to them. It helped the boys better understand real world engineering. Thanks Kim and Catch the Science Bug!
