About Science BobKeynote Session | Thursday, November 12 | 9:30 AM–10:45 AM
"Science Bob" Pflugfelder is a science teacher, author, maker, and presenter who knows how to share the world of science like never before. He is a regular guest on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Live With Kelly, The Dr. Oz Show, and Nickelodeon's Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn. His television appearances also include The Today Show, Hack My Life, Good Morning America, Home & Family, and others.
Bob continues his work through presentations at events around the world, including the USA Science & Engineering Festival, the World Science Festival, The White House Science Fair, and Maker Faire events in the U.S., Rome, and Singapore.
Most importantly, Bob encourages parents and teachers to practice Random Acts of Science by providing instructions and videos for interactive science experiments on his website.
Bob has also coauthored a very popular series of science adventure books for kids. The books are about the adventures of two bright 12-year-old siblings (Nick and Tesla) who unravel mysteries while building useful and fun gadgets. Each book contains all the instructions for building the gadgets that are used in the story!
Bob has also worked on movie and TV sets, teaching science to young actors. He continues to teach science outside of Boston while developing experiments and videos to share with his website visitors and the world!
