Conventions, Tradeshows, and Conferences! Most places have found Aurora to be a major draw at their events. (Most workshops in 2008 were standing-room only!) Here's a snippet:

..."Do you remember walking through the exhibit hall last year and seeing a huge crowd around one particular booth? These were all kinds of bings and bangs, explosion, and kids holding onto electrifying balls. You probably cannot remember the name of the booth, but I am sure you remember the fiery little woman in the white lab coat running around creating volcanoes and shooting off rockets. Well, Aurora Lipper will be presenting a workshop on the topic of mistakes parents make when teaching science. What do you think will do - um, talk about - in her workshop?"

I really had a Great time, would like to do more if they are offered Very Creative and educational Thank you Aarron Pinnick ...age 14 Wasilla, Alaska
My son is really excited about science and the Supercharged science was just what he needed! I'm so happy that you were able to come to Alaska and share your excitement and knowledge with homeschool kids. It was great to see advanced science be presented in a fun and active way--really got the kids involved and thinking! My son could have stayed there all week! Wendy Callis North Pole, Alaska
Aurora,You were the perfect combination of "Scientific " and approachabe. We learned alot,were inspired, and my 7 year-old aked if you can come for dinner.
Thank you for your workshop! It is nice that my kids got to do this together at the same table. They are so excited that they are always talking about stuff they learned and exploring together lots more than they ever have. Once again thank you for bringing this to Alaska. By the way I had a great experience being one of your brain waves. Mary Hanson, Anchorage, Alaska
My son is 7 so I wasn't sure if I could leave him for the day. Once I was there I didn't want to leave. As a parent, I think I learned more than my son. He is always creating something, but I learned so much and look forward to more science in our home. Christy Long Juneau, Alaska
My son came home from your workshop totally motivated and excited to learn. He watched the DVD about 20 times, and built and rebuilt the robot. he is still talking about what he learned and even came home and " home-schooled " his sisters, who were also excited to watch his rockets explode...
I made four fans work with one battery pack. I shocked my leg with all the voltage. I would of never of known I could make a mini rocket with selzer,it was very inspirational doing all the experiments. My younger brothers would of really enjoyed your workshop. I hope you'll come back soon to teach us more of the experiments you didn't have time to get to this visit to Alaska. Hope you come back soon. In Jesus,yours truly, Jenna
Thank you for inspiring Ollie with a new found interest in Astronomy. Your slide-show presentation truly sparked his interest! He also loved the robots and was a proud big brother when he was able to come home and show his little brother how it worked. Oh, just a side note, the Ivory soap "homework" was, shall I say....swell?!! The whole family had a great time trying to guess what might happen and we were all a little more than surprised by the results. Much thanks, The Severance Family Wasilla, AK
Our kids had a great time learning, especially with the robots and lasers. They came home and "Transformered" their robots into new creations multiple times already. Both kids had a wonderful time learning and our daughter is trying to figure out how to visit Neptune based on what Aurora shared about it's atmospheric conditions! Thanks for sharing the knowledge with us all... Lisa Layman, Anchorage, AK
My 14 year old son really enjoyed this program. He said the experiments were fun and he liked being able to bring what he made home to use and share with the family. He said the atmosphere was good; lots friends and fun activities. A very worthwhile day! Thanks!

The science day was exceptional. My son begged me to let him try out his aquadic car in the bath tub. All the children had a blast and really enjoyed the way you presented the information as well as the hands on projects they were able to build and create. Of course your demonstrations were a huge hit. Can you really go wrong with safely burning things? We would definately do it again. Heather Beckwith Anchorage, AK
My ten-year old son told me without hesitation that the most exciting thing he was able to do during the supercharged science workshop, was building the "robots" with the electric motors. I asked him to name just one thing that was not enjoyable or boring----he thought for several minutes and could not think of even 1 thing!! Aurora and others, THANK YOU so much for this fantastic opportunity to have young participants get "fired up" about science.----Robin Bogard Nikiski, Alaska
I have to tell you that my kids were reluctant to sign up for a SCIENCE workshop (not their favorite subject), but I signed them up anyway, thinking it would be good for them. The moment Aurora came out and did her first demonstration, I knew when I saw the look of excitement, awe and interest on my children's faces that this was going to be something they would never forget! They couldn't stop talking about all the great things they did, and the next day they only wanted to work on were more science experiements and skip the rest of their subjects! It has inspired both me and my kids to see how you have put the fun back into learning again. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!
This was a great opportunity for my twins to experience science as a fun, hands-on, non-threatening topic. It was presented in a high energy, fun and inter-active atmosphere. Thanks for the causual, fun presentation. Julie Wohrle Eagle River, AK
My 7 year old son Orion loved the workshop. The hands on activities kept his attention and the results made him smile big to show how proud he was of his accomplishments. Right now he is on the floor with all of his take home stuff sprawled out (4 days later), trying new connections for his robot and electronics. Stacey Marz Anchorage, AK

We attended your workshop in Wasilla yesterday. Today, Samantha (age 11) pulled apart the robots she brought home and created a new one. After many changes to adjust tracking, etc, in and out of water, she has pulled it apart again; she has a fan and motor attached to a mini box of Crest, making a personal fan (like they sell in the stores). :) On the way home last night, we were discussing astronomy. Her older sister (who was unavailable for the class) commented that 1,000 Earths would fit inside the sun. Sam answered, "No, 1.3 million Earths would fit inside the sun." :) My husband is astounded at her interest and the facts she is retaining. I got to attend the first hour and a half yesterday, and enjoyed myself thoroughly; that is some high energy teaching! Love the humor and the stories. ~Sharon, Palmer, AK

Thanks for coming all the way up here to Alaska! We had so much fun at this workshop. You were amazing with the kids, and I was floored at how you kept a group of 150+ children in grades k-12 focused, interested, laughing, and inspired all at the same time. Hats off. The children had a wonderful time of course, but you also inspired me as a homeschool mom to get a little more everyday about the sciences. I loved your philosophy about how you don't have to memorize complex scientific theories or rules to understand how they work. You brought it to a level that was understandable and doable. Thanks again. Donna Carr Wasilla, Alaska
Our three boys could not stop talking about the workshop from the moment I picked them up and they immediately started building contraptions from the materials they got to bring home. The next day they were at it again in their free time! We haven't even watched the DVDs yet but we're looking forward to that and to future Supercharged Science Workshops!! Thank you so much! Bridget Piscoya Fairbanks, Alaska
My 10 year old son was really excited about what he learnd at the science fair. And he was willing to share, he just had to tell me everything that went on that day.

"I told my son he had to do his science lesson for just fifteen minutes each day, which was such a chore for him.

"One day I gave him this program. Three hours later, he made us late for an appointment because he couldn't tear himself away! He watched the videos over and over and built things I've never seen before. Thank you so much!!!"

~Barbara & Matt
Valencia, California

"Aurora spoke at a Cub Scout Pack 6 meeting a few months ago and totally "wowed" the boys who attended the meeting. It was amazing to hear them talk about her and their sudden interest in science. My husband, David Church, was equally impressed with her skills and presentations."

"First thing they said when they got home that night was, "Sign me up for all her camps, I love that teacher! My son and his buddies raved about you for days."

~Connie Hanretty Church, San Luis Obispo, California

"Thanks for coming to our school and doing a bang-up job on your rocketry presentation!  The students really loved it, had a ton of fun, and learned a lot."

~Jodi, Valley Oaks Charter School, Bakersfield, California

"I wish I had known about you years ago! I got the Science Mastery program, and my husband (who is an engineer and works on fighter planes), has been working with my kids since.

"He usually doesn't help homeschool my kids, but after watching the DVD, he went to the internet to look something up, then returned to us as said, 'Nope - I tried, but I like the way Aurora explains it best.'

"My kids haven't turned on the TV once this whole weekend - we're just doing experiments together and it's great!"

~Merilyn, Richmond, Virginia

"I am homeschooling my 5y. old daughter and want to send you a big THANK YOU for all you do. Science was a subject I was a bit afraid to have to venture into. But with all your help it has been NO problem.
Thanks again!"

~Judes, Santa Margarita, California

"Thank you for making science so fun and exciting! We have started watching the DVD about electricity and making robots and are working along. It's really great! My daughter has been into the life sciences -- gardening and animals and bugs. Now her interest is widening. As a home school mom I always appreciate someone, like you, who can broaden her horizons."

"I am going to love doing these experiments myself. I like the little creatures you made with cell phone parts. I love taking things apart and I look forward to knowing more about how to re-arrange the parts."

~Paul

"Jeremy is having SO much fun with everything - thank you all for the work & thought that has gone into the box & program!"

~Tracey Miller

"Thank you so much for coming out to do our science day. It was awesome! I have had parents contacting me all week to thank me for putting both presentations together. Actually you did all the work - thanks for making me look good!

You brought so much energy into our science program. Your presentation is inspiring, not to mention fun! You truly did inspire the young minds to think creatively about science.

Personally, my son Ryan has been doing some pretty creative thinking about his science project for our upcoming science fair. I am sure we will see many 'Aurora-inspired' entries this year!

Thank you again. My appreciation and just plain "awe" for how and what you do just can not be put into words.

Thanks again and again!"

~Lorraine Solomon, Homeschool Coordinator

"My 13-year old son has not been interested in anything educational for a long time. This was the first time I saw a real spark of interest in his eyes. Thank you so much for your help in inspiring my son!"

~Ruth Ann,
Bakersfield, California

"Alex had a great time this summer in camp. Thanks for the great experience!"

~Carol

"Thank you so much, I can't wait to begin using the Science Experiment Manual with my kids. They immediately did the rocket and began the robot.

"My youngest (10 years old) played with the robot all night and was explaining it to guests at dinner. Thanks for making science fun!"

~Mrs. Lopez

"I love it that I don't have to do a thing! I set my kids in front of the program, and later find them excited and working on something new they created themselves. This program is exactly what we needed!"

~Ursula, Santa Barbara, California

"You have been such a fun inspiration for our son Sam, and totally got him fired up to build, connect, explode, invent, test, create, discover, question...
and in a nutshell, get wildly excited about how our physical world behaves through experimentation. Thank you! Thank you! Thank joy!

"You're a blessing and huge contributor to the positive development of our kids' minds and passions. Thanks for all you do and all you are!"

~Jan, San Luis Obispo, California
