In this engaging episode, hosts Edita Bandur (Business English Teacher) and Darko Mareš (Portrait Photographer) welcome David Price, Business Development Manager at Science Made Simple, who demonstrates the art of science busking - combining street performance with STEM education to make science accessible and exciting for public audiences.
David provides live demonstrations, from proprioception experiments to balloon physics, showing how everyday materials can create captivating educational experiences. Through his experience training science communicators and performing on streets across the UK, he illustrates how public engagement breaks down barriers between academic research and community understanding.
The conversation becomes particularly valuable when addressing the skills crossover between street performance and effective science communication, including handling hecklers, reading crowd energy, and adapting presentations for diverse audiences - lessons applicable far beyond science education.
Key moments:
An entertaining and educational conversation for science educators seeking engagement strategies, researchers interested in public communication, and anyone curious about making specialized knowledge accessible through creative performance and demonstration.
