Get ready for a high-energy live science show packed with explosive reactions, fiery metal salts, and jaw-dropping colour changes.
We’ll be making powerful chemical reactions, blasting hydrogen balloons, and unleashing chemistry that looks like magic (but isn’t).
Science has never looked so spectacular!
