PowerUp!
interactive science and gaming show

PowerUp is an interactive science and gaming demonstration show where the audience control the outcome of a game that explore the future of human augmentation.

Aimed at family audiences (but mostly for ages 11-16), this show was written around the hook that audience members would vote on the actions that the game character would take.  Each time they encounter a power-up, such as a bionic suit or anti-gravity boots, the host uses a science demonstration to illustrate how the power would work.

The show was first performed at The Big Bang Fair at Birmingham NEC in March 2017 and has since been produced at events across the UK in Belfast, Edinburgh and Swansea.
