Nikolai Ganaillyuk, known to children as Professor Nicolas, a graduate of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, one of the founders of the edutainment direction in Russia (from the two English words entertainment and education). Three years ago, he founded his company "Veselaya Nauka" LLC, known under the brand "The Show of the Crazy Professor Nicolas", whose activities are related to conducting science shows for children, the main purpose of which is to interest primary and secondary school students, and to show that science is great ! During interactive scientific shows, the children actively participate in experiments, learn a lot of new things, because after each demonstration there is an explanation. Currently, the project "The Show of the Crazy Professor Nicolas" is actively developing throughout Russia on a franchise basis. At the moment, the project has been successfully launched in 30 cities of Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. The company also pays more attention to charity, regularly performing in orphanages and hospitals. Moreover, realizing that not all children will be able to see the show for one reason or another, Nikolai shoots an educational video on his own to give all Russian-speaking children an opportunity to learn something new.

The website of the scientific show of Professor Nicolas: www.nik-show.ru
Science show media library (video of experiments) http://www.nik-show.ru/moscow/media/video/

Advertising! Post paid. The text is provided by the advertiser.

All kids love to chew and experiment! It is on this that the edutainment direction is built - a combination of two English words (learning "education" + entertainment "entertainment"). In the West, this phenomenon is no longer a novelty, but in our country everything is still only developing. At the origins of the industry of children's science shows in Russia is the company "Veselaya Nauka" known for its brand "The Show of the Crazy Professor Nicolas".

Our show is an absolute hit at children's parties "All inclusive".

This one-hour program includes experiments with dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide), experiments with polymers (how to pour a glass of water on your head or make artificial snow), rainbow glasses (we study the spectrum), experiments with sound, preparation of polymer worms (each child takes take them home with you), as well as the preparation of cotton candy (our host explains how the device works, and then each of the participants in the show prepares cotton candy and treats itself to it!).









However, the time for graduation is approaching very soon, and we believe that the best graduation for children is, of course, in a scientific style!

For the high school graduation, we have prepared three great programs, each of which has about 15 experiments:

This classic science show includes experiments with dry ice, where everything boils, bubbles, rainbow glasses, experiments with polymers, musical experiments, the guys will arrange a whirlpool in a bottle with their own hands, they will be surprised with invisible ink, and also learn how to carry water in a sieve ... And, of course, each of the participants in the show will take home a self-made polymer worm with them!







Fire, earth, air and water - so many interesting experiments are devoted to the four elements. The children will see a real volcano, an explosion of a hydrogen bomb, a giant blower, learn to operate a water jellyfish, and prepare a bouncing ball with their own hands, which they will take home with them. That's great!







How can you put a balloon on a bed of nails without bursting? Can you draw with the warmth of your hands or leave a bloody print on a piece of paper? How will the beads automatically pop out of the can by inertia? How can you extinguish a candle from a distance of three meters and make a ball out of a nipple, and can you hypnotize the whole class? The guys will find answers to these and many other questions in the Super-Laboratory show. And the preparation of polymer worms by each participant will be a worthy completion of the program.







And for the graduation in kindergarten, we have prepared a separate program:

Experiments with dry ice, soap bubbles filled with carbon dioxide, making artificial snow, rainbow glasses, tumbler birds and a dozen more experiments - all this in "Show for the little ones" is an ideal option for graduation in kindergarten.







By the way! When ordering any show at the prom, you get a 25% discount on any of our mini experiments! A great gift for every graduate - bright and interesting experiments in beautiful packaging, the child will take home with him as a gift!


And any program can be supplemented cotton candy show... You can also expand the hour program up to an hour and a half!




We are pleased to announce that now our science shows can be seen not only in Moscow, but also in other cities!

At the end of February, in my blog, Nikolai Ganaillyuk, who is also professor Nicolas, conducted a competition for children who are fond of experiments, experiments and science in general. As a result of the competition, 9 winners received the book "Scientific Experiments of Professor Nicolas" as a gift, and another 10 went to a science show in Dalcabar. What is a science show anyway? I will show you now.

Professor Nicolas and his assistants are conducting experiments. They mix such and such ingredients, it turns out like this. The point is that this is not a "sleight of hand" or a trick: all experiments are based on chemical and physical laws.

Children not only observe how the professor and his assistants conduct experiments, but also directly participate in them. This is a dry ice experience.

Do you know how to pierce water with pencils?

Another interesting experiment. Its meaning is that. Children are clearly shown that oil and water do not mix with each other, and if you add an effervescent tablet to the liquid, you can prepare a beautiful "lava lamp", by the way, this experience, like many others, is described in detail in the book.

This experiment is about how you can grow a real stalagmite from a supersaturated saline solution.

At the end, all participants were presented with the book "Experiments of Professor Nicolas", signed by the author.

The children clearly like the book.

In total, Professor Nicolas has 14 different science shows for children of different ages. For example, "Show for the smallest" can be conducted with children over three years old: experiments with artificial snow, dry ice, chimneys. You can do a science show at a kid's graduation - for example, from kindergarten or at the end of the year at school - or a birthday party. In general, Nicolas has a convenient show calculator, you can select the program by the age of the children, duration, subject ("More entertaining" or "More scientific"), the number of presenters and other parameters. Although the age of children in the calculator is limited to 18, I think everyone who is older will also be very interested. I would go to the show "In the Dark": it is based on experiments with phosphorescent objects, lasers. Nicolas even promises to show real lightning :)
The show can be ordered in any of 40 cities in Russia, as well as in Kazakhstan, Ukraine and even Poland.

You can choose a show to your liking.

The book "Experiments of Professor Nicolas" presents scientific experiments for children, which can be carried out from scrap materials. For example, we made a toy for Marta - handgam from PVA glue. Children have fun and at the same time master the laws of nature in a playful way - the dream of any parent :)

And now for a special offer!

We give all readers of Ilya Varlamov's blog a 10% discount on all shows, as well as the assortment of the online store. To do this, when ordering, you need to enter the promo code VARLAMOV (or inform the manager).

So let everyone know that science is great!
