I am happy to speak to schools, colleges, community groups, and universities about technology entrepreneurship and what it takes to start, grow and exit a high tech business. During my talk, I refer to my business book Start to Exit, highlighting how my training as a scientist has helped in business and provided numerous opportunities to undertake exciting projects.

As a STEM Ambassador I try to offer these talks pro-bono, but would charge a speaker fee to corporates and where the audience is paying for a ticket.
REAL SCIENCE OR JUST BANGS: THE SCIENCE OF FIREWORKS Explore the colourful and explosive world of pyrotechnics as Matthew deconstructs the science behind firework displays. He'll demonstrate how to create colours, different sound effects, shock waves and perfectly timed bursts in time to music, whilst ensuring that displays are safe. Fully customisable to fit your venue or event and featuring real indoor fireworks, this is an exciting and dramatic show featuring real science.
‘School of Water Wizardry’ We dance as water molecules, forming ice and explaining density; We prove teachers wrong by taking water sub-zero; We stretch, bend and split water. When we’re ready, we’ll blow it up! Everyone graduates. Typically one hour, demo-based show suitable for primary, KS 3 & 4, family or large audiences.
Designed to enhance the curriculum and provide catalytic support for teachers we have been developing workshops since 1985. We have activities for all Key Stages & Abilities and all workshops contain elements of STEM and aid fine and gross motor skills. Our History & Humanities workshops are topic based, while STEAM workshops are design and make exercises help develop pupils as creative thinkers, effective participants, independent enquirers, reflective learners and resilient individuals.
Looking forward to hearing about your event. If you can cover my travel and accommodation, I make time every year to provide events for free to those communities in greatest need.
