"Maxwell's Rainbow 3D Traveling Show"

As part of the James Clerk Maxwell year celebrations, the DLF were  commissioned by the James Clerk Maxwell Foundation to produce an inspirational  3D show that introduces the work of Maxwell to both a general audience and S3 and above students. The show focuses on his work on the electromagnetic spectrum and aims to take the participants on the journey of discovery that lead to Maxwell's theory that unified Magnetism, Electricity and Light. The project is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and over 5,000 students have seen the show. Music is by PJ Moore. The show uses the same passive stereo 3D technology that has been used to great effect in our "Space- the Solar System and Beyond" Traveling shows.

 

Please contact the Digital Learning Foundation if you are interested in booking this show.
