Who Are The Science Brothers?

The ‘Science Brothers’ is an non-profit outreach program aimed at getting elementary and middle school students interested in STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) activities. The program centers around the dynamics of two brothers, who specialize in different fields, argue over whose science is ‘cooler’. The result is a fun and wacky trip exploring different premises in science; light, sound, energy; with examples and demonstrations from the realms of chemistry, physics, and electricity.

The program is based out of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD)and funding is provided by National Defense Education Program (NDEP) grants. The program is free for schools but booking is currently offline. We will soon be taking requests for the 12/13 school year. All Bay County Schools are encouraged to schedule a show. Schools in nearby areas can also inquire  about the possibility of having the Science Brothers come and perform.

History of The Program

The program is a rebirth of an old show called “Doctor Science” featuring a main character, Doctor Science, and his side-kick, Mr. Gallagher. The program ran for many years in the 90s before shutting down. The following video is some clips from the old show:

Fast Forward to Today…

The ‘Science Brothers’ pick up where the first show left off with the two sons of Doctor Science, Bill and Dan Science, competing over who’s field is ‘cooler’ to the kids. However, the over-arching theme is still to instill in kids that the wonderful things in our world are not magic, but Science!
