Mission Briefing — What To Expect When The Neverwas Agency Arrives

Your school has a problem. Glitchlings — mischievous creatures from another reality — are pouring through a breach and causing chaos. Agent Steel has arrived — and he's going to need your students' help to close the breach.

What follows is 45 minutes of real STEM in action:

Science: Students trigger colorful elephant toothpaste volcanoes

 

Technology They rewrite live code — battling digital creatures that have infiltrated the school's systems

 

Engineering: They engineer an outrageous dry ice fog bubble contraption on stage

​​​

Math: The whole school controls the air-powered ball launcher together — calculating angle and pressure in a last desperate attempt to close the breach.

​​

From Student To Agent

At the end of the mission, students become Neverwas Agents — by repeating these words:

"I am a Neverwas Agent. I unleash the power of science, technology, engineering and math to protect those who can't protect themselves."

They leave with something that sticks — a new way of seeing themselves and the difference they can make in the world.

This isn't Your Typical School Assembly

Most assemblies just entertain kids. 

The Neverwas Agency does something different.   

Stories stick.

When kids are inside a story — not watching one — something shifts. They're not just engaged. They're invested. In The Neverwas Agency, students aren't the audience — they're the heroes. They don't just watch STEM demonstrations — they're part of the action. And experiences like that don't fade.

A New Identity

At the end of every mission, students take the Neverwas Agent Oath. They don't leave as kids who watched a cool STEM show. They leave as someone who can unleash the power of STEM to make a real difference in the world.

6 Reasons The Neverwas Agency Will Be Your School's Most Talked-About Assembly

1. Real STEM Education — Hidden Inside An Epic Adventure.

From elephant toothpaste volcanoes to live coding battles to air-powered launchers — every moment is tied to real science, technology, engineering and math.

Aligned to Utah's Science and Engineering Education (SEEd) Standards, grades K-6

2. High Energy. High Stakes. 100% Engaged.

Fog bubbles popping on kids heads. Code doing things nobody expected. Chemical reactions that don't go according to plan. They're not watching any of it — they're in it. And nobody knows what's coming next.

3. Zero Prep. Zero Stress. Zero Cleanup.

You're juggling a million things — so I handle everything. I arrive early, come fully equipped, and take care of cleanup after. You just point me toward your space.

4. Be The Hero Who Called In The Neverwas Agency.

This isn't a show. It's a mission — full of spectacular experiments they've never seen in real life. They walk in as students and walk out as agents — and they won't stop talking about it.

5. 45 Minutes. Any Space. Ready to Go.

The mission runs 45 minutes start to finish. I set up in advance, work in any gym, multipurpose room, cafeteria, or auditorium, and handle everything before your students arrive. You just point me toward your space.

6. Built for K-6.
Two Shows. One Day.

Most schools run two back-to-back shows — one for K-2 and one for 3-6 — each with age-specific content so every student gets the right experience for their age. Single show option available for smaller schools.

Chemical Chaos
