Our Vision

Why does Bubbly Maths & Science exist?

Bubbly Maths & Science – Mission & Vision

At Bubbly Maths & Science, we believe learning should spark excitement, wonder and joy. Our vision is to ignite a lifelong curiosity in every child—because when children are curious, they don’t just learn… they love learning.

Our mission is simple but powerful:
to make maths and science fun for every child on Earth.

We bring learning to life through exciting shows, hands-on exploration, playful discovery, and the magic of the unexpected. From mind-bending geometric puzzles to the fascinating science of bubbles, we turn everyday moments into extraordinary learning experiences—fuelled by one thing: questions.

Because science begins with curiosity…
How did you do that? What if……? Let’s see what will happen next?

Children are naturally drawn to soap bubbles and balloons—and we use that excitement as a gateway into deeper thinking. Our interactive shows and workshops capture attention instantly, then channel that energy into meaningful learning.

Have you spotted the theme yet?
FUN!

We are passionate about inclusion, and our approach works especially well in SEND settings. Our activities are designed to be low entry, high ceiling, meaning every child can access the experience at their own level while still being challenged to think, explore, and succeed. Through visual, hands-on, and sensory-rich learning, we create opportunities for all learners to engage, build confidence, and experience the joy of discovery—because every child deserves to feel successful in maths and science.

Our engaging STEM (STEAM) workshops and shows are designed for children aged 3–11, whether in schools, homes, festivals, or fairs and they work well for family audiences. We blend education with entertainment—what we proudly call “edutainment”—to create unforgettable experiences that inspire, excite, and stick.

Because when learning feels like play, curiosity takes over… and that’s where the real magic happens.

Frank Wurzinger

Bubbly Maths Entertainer

Frank Wurzinger is a dynamic performer and mathematical entertainer for Bubbly Maths. Frank specialises in combining physical theatre, clowning and playful mathematics to bring joy and discovery into learning. With a performance career spanning solo theatre shows such as Confetti Maker and Goodbye Gunther, Frank brings his expertise in visual theatre, mime, improv and movement into the educational sphere.

Through his work with Bubbly Maths, he has been helping children shift from maths-anxiety to mathematical curiosity by making abstract concepts tangible, fun and memorable.

Over more than ten years as a Bubbly Maths entertainer, Frank has contributed to workshops and performances that use giant soap bubbles, balloons and interactive theatre techniques to explore shape, space, measurement and problem-solving. His background in theatre and clowning gives him a unique ability to invite participation, laughter and wonder — making mathematics a lived, joyful experience rather than a subject to be endured. Whether teaching teachers, engaging pupils in primary schools or facilitating family events, his mission is to help learners feel like mathematicians rather than simply do maths.
