      Hey Cathal, great question!

      The Science Circus is my own idea!

      I’m imagining something in a stage type place, with lights like a stage show has.

      Then in the middle there’d be a really fancy looking ringmaster leading everything. He’d demonstrate how fireworks have their colour, and how electricity works with Van de Graff generators, which make little sparks. (or if I can, a tesla coil, which makes huge sparks)

      It would be fun, and completely crazy, and hopefully a really inventive way to teach science!
