About Sublime Science
How did it Start?
Sublime Science was founded in 2008 by Marc Wileman – better known to thousands of kids as "Mad Marc". Armed with a First Class Master's in Physics, years of experience as a science communicator, and a loan from the Prince's Trust, Marc set out to prove that science could be the most exciting thing in a kid's week – not the most boring.
Our Story
Marc's idea took off! A pitch on BBC's Dragons' Den won investment from two of the Dragons. A Queen's Award for Enterprise followed. So did a Netmums Award. And, more importantly, so did over a million children who've watched something explode, fizz, whoosh or take off at one of our parties, school workshops or festival events.
​
Today, our team of brilliant Presenters brings that same spark to birthday parties, schools, scouting groups, festivals and corporate events all over the UK. The mission hasn't changed: get kids hooked on science by making it unforgettable!
A new chapter...
Today, Sublime Science is part of Launchpad Publishing – home to Whizz Pop Bang and Hoopla magazines and Letterbox Lab – hands-on science kits for kids.
Founded by Jenny Inglis (a fellow physics graduate, equally passionate about getting kids hooked on science), Launchpad exists to bring science to life for every child – in print, in the post, and in person. Joining the family means Sublime Science events now sit alongside a whole ecosystem of ways for kids to discover, experiment, and fall in love with the world around them.
