“I just wanted to let you know again how much our fifth graders enjoyed the program led by the Science Ambassadors. We saw students who we have difficulty engaging on the edge of their seats throughout the show!” -- Ms. R, Joshua ISD

“You made our field trip a memorable learning experience. The children all came away wanting to be scientists. That is good teaching!” – Team Teachers, Arlington ISD

The Science Ambassadors show costs $125 for the first 50 people, plus $1.50 per additional person.

We no longer require a minimum number of students to schedule, but if the group is substantially over 100 students, it's best to see the show in shifts. If you're also going to visit the UTA Planetarium, this type of scheduling generally works out well.

Checks, money orders, purchase orders, and credit cards. We cannot accept cash payments.

Groups will pay any balance owed to program manager Shundreka Lanier on the day of their visit.

*Note: The Planetarium will no longer accept payments on our behalf, and any payment should be made out to UTA Science Ambassadors. Payments made out to other offices cannot be accepted.

*Note: If mailing in a payment, please remit to Science Ambassadors, Box 19047, The University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX 76019-0047 to avoid delays in processing.

Unfortunately, due to safety concerns, we no longer allow any pictures or videos to be taken during the show. This includes demonstrations involving student and teacher volunteers from the audience.

Probably not since our Ambassadors are busy students themselves. It is difficult to schedule them for enough time to gather their materials, travel to a school, put on the show, travel back to campus and put away their equipment before they must attend their next classes.

Yes, they probably can. For an additional charge, the Science Ambassadors will travel up to 15 miles from UTA campus. Contact Shundreka Lanier to find out if your school is eligible.

Please go to our Science Night Request Form to schedule a show off campus.

The show runs about 50 minutes to 1 hour.

Unless alternate arrangements are made beforehand, Shundreka Lanier or another Science Ambassadors representative will meet groups in front of the UTA Planetarium, which is located on the first floor of the Chemistry and Physics Building.
