Go Wild!

A Scientific Exploration of the Magic in Your Own Back Yard!

Join David Gish and his puppet friends as they take your students on a magical (and imaginary) field trip through their own back yards. Your young readers and pre-readers will learn about the scientific process while they explore strange creatures like Anole lizards who can change the color of their skin, the only living marsupial native to North America (the Opossum), plus lots of real world experiments done in a fun, magical way.

This program was developed in conjunction with a team of educators, professional performers, librarians, authors, and literary consultants and has been performed to rave reviews all across America in front of millions of school children. You don't want to miss this amazing program!

Science Can Look Like MAGIC!

In this fun and engaging program, "Professor" David Gish takes the kids into the world of scientific study and exploration. Using basic scientific principles David teaches how simple things can sometimes create magical effects. Using the Scientific Process, David will demonstrate several experiments that will excite the imagination of your students. Learning Science is fun when the "Professor" is teaching!

"Any technology sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic." Arthur C. Clarke

Inspiration of the Imagination

"Professor Wordsworth", a wizard straight from the middle ages, has learned all that he knows from only 3 sources: knowledge from teachers (which can include a LOT of different types of people), knowledge from penitential accumulation of mankind's collected knowledge (a fancy term for "the library"), and knowledge from first hand experience (often called "The School of Hard Knocks").

Join this humorous and thought-provoking presentation where your students will learn how they can turn fantasy into reality. All great accomplishments begin as a mere dream. But not all dreams become reality. Become inspired to learn the difference. Become inspired to turn YOUR dreams into reality.

Holiday Express

This program is a fun way to help bring to life stories used in the classroom. Using actual books that almost all students are familiar with, David re-creates a magical train ride across a winter wonderland. Learning opportunities about in this amazing program. Your students will thank you and your teachers will thank you.

The program is educational and inspirational, but it is just so fun that many schools and libraries use it as a fun reward program. If this program interests you, call early as dates for these Texas Motivational Speaker Assembly Programs, are limited and they do go FAST!
