Spectacular Science Shows!

We have four fully tour-ready shows, each containing a unique narrative, with amazing feats of science & engineering.

Little Bang, Big Bang

It’s Nanogirl’s trusty lab assistant's, birthday! With the help of some clever science—including exploding balloons, instant liquid nitrogen ice cream and a fire extinguisher-powered shopping trolley—it’s going to be the best party ever!

Engineering Magic

Nanogirl's lab Boris has ambitions of becoming a magician, but he’ll need Nanogirl’s help to get his illusions to work. Will Nanogirl survive being hit by a hammer on a real life bed of nails?

Out of this World

Boris is determined to be an astronaut and fly into space! This high-action show is filled with space science experiments, from rocket jet-packs to a real life tornado!

Bring on the Noise

Nanogirl’s trusty lab assistant, Boris, has his eyes on the prize of a talent quest, but he’ll need Nanogirl’s help to get his act sounding good enough to blow the judges away! Featuring a huge airzooka, a flaming sound frequency tube and dancing laser beams.

Igniting a Lifelong Passion for STEM!

The excitement in the eyes of our audience says it all—Nanogirl Live shows are hugely impactful, inspiring and will—for some of these young people—be the moment that they look back in the future as being the spark that led to a lifelong passion for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths).

Theatre Shows Backed by Science
Created by Nanotechnologist and Materials Engineer, Dr Michelle Dickinson (MNZM)— Nanogirl is a superhero with a difference! She builds her superpowers with the help of STEM to manoeuvre through challenges and empower young people to explore the world's biggest questions.

Nanogirl Live shows have proven to be more than just entertainment in research conducted with the University of Auckland. Our shows are proven to positively impact young people's attitudes toward science and engineering while challenging stereotypes about professionals in these fields.
