Brunel entertains an rapt audience at

The Beaulieu Steam Revival 2010.

For more details visit the History page.

Using his skills as an actor and presenter with audiences of all ages David also delivers a series of dynamic

Interactive Science Workshops

bringing science to life in quite unforgettable ways.

He is happy to consider commissions too - if time allows..!

Created for Kent Education and Business partnership,

David’s interactive Spectrometry lecture guides his audience through the concepts of absorption and emission spectra and spectrometry’s

many applications in the world.

“We were absolutely delighted with the time we spent with you at HMS Belfast and were extremely impressed with both the displays and your interaction with the children, helping our boys to understand the various principles of science associated with water displacement, buoyancy, water pressure, etc.  

They loved every minute.  

I’ll be passing your information on to our local schools, as I can really see how your sort of presentation could enrich their education programmes immensely.”  

With kindest regards

Janet M’Caw

"I was totally 'blown away' by your performance and the fantastic amount of science it contained - all delivered in a very interesting, accessible, fun and memorable way.   

The kids were hugely impressed and talked about it all the way back to school.

I'm sure you've inspired them all."

Andy Collison, Kinsale Junior School - re the Michael Faraday show at Norwich School

“Thank you very much for coming to our Science Day in March - the best we have done so far, due in no small part to your wonderful Isaac Newton presentation, which has been much talked about in lessons and the playground since then.  I have been teaching light to my year 8 group, and your explanation of Newton's prism experiment was fully remembered and made my job much easier.”

Nick Brown, Head of Science, Chumleigh Community School, Devon

“We were absolutely delighted.... and extremely impressed..... I’ll be passing your information on to our local schools, as I can really see how your sort of presentation could enrich their education programmes immensely.“

“Creative, engaging and great fun.“ 

Teacher’s review for

Atomic Structure and Nuclear Power interactive workshop

“Edutainment at its best !”

David brings his skills and experience as an actor, presenter and science teacher to a series of interactive lectures, shows and exhibitions guaranteed to engage and inspire everyone...!

"Amazing ! All the teachers as well as the children that I spoke to sang David's praises!  His enthusiasm and engaging personality inspired both children and staff alike.  He made learning FUN, something which we need to do more often in schools.”  

Shamantha Parboo, Godolphin Junior School, Slough

re “Separation Techniques, Atomic Structure and Nuclear Power” workshops

“We were absolutely delighted with the time we spent there and were extremely impressed with both the displays and your interaction with the children, helping our boys to understand the various principles of science associated with water displacement, buoyancy, water pressure, etc.  

They loved every minute.

“Pitched exactly right for our pupils”

Gordon Porter, Assistant Head, St Andrew’s Junior School, Hadfield, Glossop

Meet Britain’s Father of Electricity himself and hear his story - how he rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most famous Presidents of the Royal Institution - and the story of electricity itself - from its static origins in Ancient Greece to its amazing impact in the world today.  

Spectacular, fun, engaging, and amazing - a truly electrical show!

Topics include

Static Electricity, Franklin, Oersted, Tesla, Electromagnetism, Electricity Generation, 

Transformers, Power Stations, Safety Issues, the Victorian Age 

and Electricity in the World today.

A flamboyant and extraordinary Sir Isaac explodes into the room and within ninety minutes - with the help of intrepid volunteers and some unforgettable demonstrations - guides his audience through his life and ground-breaking achievements - with many a squirmingly corny joke along the way!

Topics include

Fluxions, Telescopes, Rainbows, Prisms, Galileo, Planetary orbits, 

Gravity, Forces and Motion, The Scientific Revolution 

and much, much more.

Adventurer, engineer, entrepreneur - a man for whom nothing was impossible and whose achievements changed the world - Isambard Kingdom Brunel still inspires his audiences today!   

The irrepressible IK Brunel guides you through his extraordinary adventures and how in his short lifetime he achieved so much (that many deemed quite impossible at the time) and he challenges his audiences: what might they achieve in theirs..?!

Topics include

The Physics of Bridges and Arches, The Clifton Suspension Bridge, The Thames Tunnel,

The Great Western Railway, his Three Great Steamships, The Atmospheric Railway 

and much more besides.

Thanks for a great day - I was on my Science course on Tuesday so I sung your praises...

I have spoken to our head and we have decided that we would love to have you in again a.s.a.p.

“That Rings a Bell”

Alexander Graham Bell

and the romantic story of the invention of the telephone

A brand new, fully interactive and dynamic show.

Tracing the History and Science behind Telecommunications and the Romantic Story of how the telephone was invented, “That Rings a Bell” covers the Science of Sound, Speech and Electromagnetism and the many ways we’ve communicated at a distance across the ages. 

Some Pupils’ Comments:

“I loved how it involved everybody. 

The man presenting it really made you listen 

He was very active and jumpy - it was very enjoyable.” 

“It was very good - you didn’t get bored”

“Very interactive. A joy to be there.” 

Topics covered include:

Telecommunication through the ages, Electromagnetism and the Electric Telegraph, Galvani and animal electricity, Volta’s pile and batteries.

The nature of sound (some great demos to show sound as vibrations) and speech. 

Creating electricity from movement and vice-versa - Microphones and Loudspeakers.

The impact of the telephone on society.  The future of telecoms and Alexander Graham Bell’s other great viusions and invention, including the photophone, tetrahedral kites, metal detectors, fibre optics and more...!

With the help of dozens of volunteers, David’s latest dynamic show relates the romantic story of the invention of the world’s first telephone, the science leading up to it, the impact it had, the characters behind it and the wonderful lessons we can still learn today from its visionary inventor, Alexander Graham Bell, his world-changing inventions and his inspiring work with the deaf and hard of hearing too.

A truly inspiring show!
