Whacky colour changes, magic disappearing water, blowing up dustbins,
clouds of steam, thunder air explosions. Are you ready to fasten your seatbelts
and enjoy the ‘explosive’ journey?
In his talk, Andrew aims to promote chemistry as the science of
remarkable changes, which are often overlooked yet so important in our everyday
life. And he does it brilliantly by performing an incredible series of 25
experiments in 15 minutes, totally amazing the audience (who rewards him with a
long and deserved standing ovation)!
Andrew Z. Szydło is an internationally
acclaimed chemistry teacher. But he’s definitely not the typical chemistry
teacher you would expect…
He holds a PhD in the History and Philosophy of Science from UCL, and is
an expert on the history of alchemy (his 1994 book ‘Water Which Does Not Wet
Hands’ is considered to be the standard reference work on the Polish alchemist
Michael Sendivogius.)
But his polymath spirit extends further: he’s a violin, bugle and
accordion player, as well as a professional photographer. Throughout the years
Andrew has wowed audiences all around the world with his pyrotechnical approach
to teaching and demonstrating chemical sciences on stage and has appeared many
times on TV. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference
format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
