COMING SOON

"Maxwell's Rainbow 3D Traveling Show"

As part of the James Clerk Maxwell year celebrations, the DLF were commissioned by the James Clerk Maxwell Foundation to produce an inspirational 3D show that introduces the work of Maxwell to both a general audience and S3 and above students. The show focuses on his work on the electromagnetic spectrum and aims to take the participants on the journey of discovery that lead to Maxwell's theory that unified Magnetism, Electricity and Light. The project is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and over 5,000 students have seen the show. Music is by PJ Moore. The show uses the same passive stereo 3D technology that has been used to great effect in our "Space- the Solar System and Beyond" Traveling shows.

Requirements:

* Good Blackout!

* Seating for audience

* Tables and power for our equipment

Development part funded by the Science & Technology Facilities Council

Gravity, is a travelling school show that is presented using Stereoscopic Projection, to create a memorable immersive 3D experience, that brings the “Wow” factor into the classroom to promote learning and understanding.

There are some common misconceptions about gravity and the way it works. This 3D show tackles them through a series of virtual experiments, that explain the basics of Newton’s theory of Gravitation, why satellites orbit the earth, why astronauts float about, and much, much more.

We then explore the formation of the universe and the part that Gravity, Dark Matter and Dark Energy have played, using material from the Institute of Computational Cosmology, University of Durham.

The Final part of the show looks at the Life and Death of Stars. Including, what will happen to our Sun and what happens when you fall into a black hole.

A voting system is used throughout the show to pose questions and capture responses.

This show can also be combined with the Gravity Challenge Workshops.

Over 5,000 pupils have already enjoyed this show, and over 24,000 have taken part in Digital Learning Foundation activities..

Space - The Solar System and Beyond, is a curriculum based travelling school show that is presented using Stereoscopic Projection to create an immersive 3D experience that brings the "Wow" factor into the classroom and promotes understanding of complex and abstract concepts, motivates research and self learning, and has been voted the best thing they did all year by the children that have taken part....

Our journey starts with the earth in space: why we experience day and night, the different seasons and view the moon in various phases. From there we travel deeper into our solar system, examine the planets, investigate their relative sizes, temperatures and practice memorising their names. Next we cover some key space missions including the Apollo moon landing, we join the exploration rovers on the surface of Mars and the Cassini mission to Saturn. On the last leg of our expedition we see the stars of the Milky Way as never before, as we fly through the constellations discovering millions of stars, other solar systems and end with an appreciation of the vastness of our galaxy.
