Corporate workshops, shows, activities vary considerable from event to event and will be designed / modified during booking process to maximise the best experience all.

Workshop Design

Booked Participant Design

• Workshops are designed for 30 children (booked situations) to provide them the opportunity to access equipment for the maximum amount of time. When numbers rise above 30, access to equipment decreases and child frustration levels may increase. We therefore recommend a workshop number of 30 children.

• A hands-on workshop has a MAXIMUM of 40 even with additional help from Educators / Teachers. Workshops greater than 40 are not feasible in terms of equipment availability, time management and educational value. In the event that numbers are anticipated to be higher than 40, one of the following is recommended:

(a) two workshops need to be booked OR

(b) a show should be booked (as a show can accommodate larger numbers) OR

(c) two shorter modified workshops done in lieu of the longer single workshop.

Walk-by / Fluid Design

• Activities are designed to give ALL participants the greatest access to materials and the opportunity to explore the wonder of science in a quick manner.
• They are designed to be highly visible and instantaneously engaging.
• The presenter will make modifications to the design depending on the physical space available on the day. This will enable the BEST opportunities to maximise participant exposure, learning and safety.

Equipment

• Children should use the equipment as described by the presenter.
• We understand that from time to time equipment damage / breakage may occur, however, in rare cases, misuse of equipment can result in excessive breakages. In these cases (in consultation withThe Crazy Scientist^® ) the centre will be asked to cover the replacement cost of those items damaged.
• In situations were program numbers are well above predicted and result in equipment breakage or loss, then the booking organisation (in consultation withThe Crazy Scientist^®) will cover the replacement cost of such equipment.

Workshop Cost

• The Crazy Scientist^® tries to provide the best possible unique experiences at the best price.
• The price is based on a ‘base standard’, but may fluctuate depending on the numbers of participants, activities chosen (eg Liquid Nitrogen, specific slime options may alter base price) and if a ‘Hands-on workshop’ or ‘Show Presentation’ options are selected.
• The Invoice provided on booking reflects the cost of the

(a) Hands-on ‘Booked’ workshop

• (presentation, hands-on activities, consumables, gifts etc.) for the discussed numbers. If on the day, participant numbers are greater than that, extra charges will apply ($7 per child) to cover extra consumables used, gifts etc. (to a MAXIMUM of 40 children)

(b) Show Format

• A show is designed and priced on booking to allow maximum delivery of engaging science content (using audience participants).
• The invoice cost provided will allow for the stated numbers on booking. If however, numbers are excessively more on the day, then an additional fee will be charged to cover the cost of the excess gifts provided to audience members. Fee will be discussed based on the degree of extra members.

Invoice Payment Terms

• No deposit is required to secure booking of a workshop. However, in the event of a change of date or cancellation, The Crazy Scientist^® asks that you communicate any changes 2 weeks BEFORE program invoice date. Re-booking is preferred and will result in no charge. If no re-booking occurs and The Crazy Scientist^® is notified within the 2 weeks before invoice date, then 30% of workshop cost will be charged to cover administration costs.
• In the event of a cancellation occuring within 24hr before a workshop / show / event, then 50% of the cost of the event is chagred. Once the workshop is completed, payment for services is required within 21 days by EFT (unless previously agreed by The Crazy Scientist^®).
• In the event of specific booking parties (councils etc), modification of this may occur.

Party Structure

• There are THREE levels of party structure to choose from as described in the table located on the party page.
• The numbers stated in each level description will occur. If on the day the numbers are larger than described for the level of your party, then an additional $7 will be charged per child over the level number to cover extra costs to cover consumables used and gifts provided.

Equipment

• Children should use the equipment as described by the presenter.
• We understand that from time to time equipment damage / breakage may occur, however, in rare cases, misuse of equipment can result in excessive breakages. In these cases (in consultation with The Crazy Scientist^® ) the booking party will be asked to cover the replacement cost of those items damaged.

Workshop Cost

• The Crazy Scientist^® tries to provide the best possible unique experiences at the best price. The Invoice provided on booking reflects the cost of the party (presentation, hands-on activities, consumables, gifts etc.) for the designed level.
• If on the day, child numbers are greater than that, extra charges will apply ($7 per child) to cover extra consumables used, gifts etc. (to a MAXIMUM of 35 children)
• Large parties in excess of 35 children will need an additional staff member to attend to facilitate transitions etc and ensure maximum activities can be done. The cost for an additional staff member is $150.

Invoice Payment Terms

• $100 non-refundable deposit is required to secure booking of a party, this ensures that you get your spot and covers lost business in the event of cancellation.
• Payment for service is required before or on the party day via EFT OR on the day with cash.

Workshop Information

(A) Numbers

• Workshops are designed for 30 children providing them the opportunity to access equipment for the maximum amount of time. When numbers rise above 30, access to equipment decreases and child frustration levels may increase. We therefore recommend a workshop number of 30 children.
• Child numbers and Educator / Teacher ratio.
  • 30 children or under  must be accompanied by an Educator/ Teacher
  • 30-40 children must be accompanied by a minimum of 2 Educators/ Teachers.
• A hands-on workshop has a MAXIMUM of 40 even with additional help from Educators / Teachers. Workshops greater than 40 are not feasible in terms of equipment availability, time management and educational value. In the event that numbers are anticipated to be higher than 40, one of the following must be arranged:
  • 2 x 1.5hr workshops need to be booked OR
  • 1 x 1hr show booked in place of the workshop (as a show can accommodate larger numbers) OR
  • 2 x 45min modified workshops

(B) Supervision

• Whilst all due care is taken, children remain under the care and responsibility of centre and according to the Educator / Teacher ratio as stated above.

(C) Workshop Equipment

• Children should use the equipment as described by the presenter.
• We understand that from time to time equipment damage / breakage may occur, however, in rare cases, misuse of equipment can result in excessive breakages. In these cases (in consultation with The Crazy Scientist^® ) the centre will be asked to cover the replacement cost of those items damaged.
• In situations were program numbers are well above predicted and result in equipment breakage or loss, then the booking organisation (in consultation with The Crazy Scientist^®) will cover the replacement cost of such equipment.

(D) Workshop Cost

• The Crazy Scientist^®  tries to provide the best possible unique experiences at the best price. The Invoice overleaf reflects the cost of the workshop (presentation, hands-on activities, consumables, gifts etc.) for the designed 30 students. If on the day, child numbers are greater than that, extra charges will apply ($7 per child) to cover extra consumables used, gifts etc. (to a MAXIMUM of 40 children)
• If a show is chosen for groups above 40 children, then the cost per child (above 40) would be $4.

(E) Requirements

• At a minimum, venue must provide: space as shown below; access to power; and car access to the space at least 30mins before and after the performance. If your chosen workshop has more specific technical requirements, these will appear in the ‘Specific Requirements’ section.

(A) Hands-on Workshops: Presentation area should be 3mx3m and include 1 medium table. Hands-on area should have 4-5 medium sized tables (no chairs). Most workshops require an inside & outside area (please ensure if slime or bubbles are involved an outside environment is available).

(B) Show: Presentation are should be 3mx5m and include 2 medium tables.

(F) Confirmation of Booking

• The Crazy Scientist^®  recognises that the process of booking incursions / excursions for centres can be an organisational challenge. When the services of  The Crazy Scientist^®  is ‘pencilled’ (booking made via phone or email), the exact date of booking will need to be confirmed within 3 days or the booking will expire and be opened up to other centres.
• This is required as many times, enquiring centres phone to book and get turned away due to ‘no vacancy’, only to have a spot appear a few days later when a centre reschedules or cancels a workshop booking.
• This is an organisational nightmare for the booking centre and for The Crazy Scientist^®
• No deposit is required to secure booking of a workshop.
• However, in the event of a change of date or cancellation after the 3 day confirmation period, the following will occur:

(1) Re-booking is preferred and will result in no charge.

(2) No re-booking, then a cancellation fee of 50% of workshop cost will be charged to cover administration costs.

• Once the workshop is completed, payment for services is required within 7 days via EFT (unless previously agreed by The Crazy Scientist^®).
