Join master storyteller and award-winning National Geographic author Steve “The Dirtmeister” Tomecek as he takes a slightly serious look at some of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of all time.
These days when we hear about a new scientific discovery it usually involves some pretty hi-tech equipment. We often forget that some of the greatest scientific discoveries happened because of people simply messing around with everyday stuff. Join master storyteller and award-winning National Geographic author Steve “The Dirtmeister” Tomecek as he takes a slightly serious look at some of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of all time as only “The Dirtmeister” can do it! Using a variety of “dirt cheap” materials, Steve recreates some of most important discoveries of the past including the work of Archimedes, William Gilbert, Galileo, Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, and even Otto von Guericke, without whom the toilet plunger wouldn’t be possible!
For adults and teens.
