Question 1

What ages is this for?

Accepted Answer

The Professor Sko Science Show "Let's Go Make Music" is optimal for grades 3-7. However, younger and older students (and even adults) will have fun and learn science and math.

Question 2

Do adults need to pay to attend the show?

Accepted Answer

Teachers and chaperones are free! Seating is extremely limited so we can provide 1 adult ticket for every 10 students.

Question 3

What time should we arrive?

Accepted Answer

We recommend your students are in their seats 20-30 minutes before the show starts. A pre-show of music and videos will keep them entertained. The pre-show begins 45 minutes before showtime. All tickets are general seating, so the earlier you arrive, the more seat choices you will have.

Question 4

When should we purchase our tickets?

Accepted Answer

You will want to purchase your tickets as early as possible. Nebraska Wesleyan University's newly-renovated McDonald Theater is a state-of-the-art performance venue, but only has 200 seats. The sooner you sign up, the sooner you lock in your seats.

Question 5

Is there parking for our busses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Email mthomps7@nebrwesleyan.edu for a campus map showing theater and parking locations.

Question 6

Can we arrange to have lunch on campus?

Accepted Answer

If you bring brown bag lunches, we can provide your students seating outdoors on the grass with weather permits, or on the floor of our Fine Arts building.

Question 7

My school district needs to know the exact curricular content of the show. Can I find that out?

Accepted Answer

Email Dr. Mark Thompson at mthomps7@nebrwesleyan.edu. He will provide you with a complete list of Nebraska State Content Standards that are taught during the show.

Question 8

Who is hosting this event?

Accepted Answer

The Wesleyan Institute for Successful Educators (WISE) Honors Program of the NWU Education Department is co-hosting the event with the NWU Music Department, with cooperation from the NWU Theater Department. It is available at a greatly reduced cost due to generous funding from Nebraska EPSCoR.

Question 9

Can we learn more about Professor Sko?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Visit her website at professorsko.com, or catch her videos on YouTub by entering "Professor Sko" in the search bar. You, your students, and their parents can also follow her on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

Question 10

Can we get Professor Sko to come to our school?

Accepted Answer

Professor Sko loves to visit schools. Check out her complete Menu of Services that includes district-wide shows, school appearances, Zoom Labs, and even workshops for teachers! Go to professorsko.com and click the "Hit Me Up" tab.

Question 11

Can we attend if we are not a public school?

Accepted Answer

For sure! This event is great for homeschoolers, private schools, community youth groups, church groups, and more. As Professor Sko says, "Science is for everyone who loves it!"

Question 12

The time we want is "Sold Out." What should we do?

Accepted Answer

Definitely put yourself on the waiting list. It's possible we can add performance times, depending on our funding and the size of your group.

Question 13

Who do I contact if I need more information?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Mark Thompson at mthomps7@nebrwesleyan.edu. 402-465-2310.
