Neil Carrington graduated from Kings College London in 1986 with a degree in Geology and Geography. He is the co-founder of Science Dome and has a great passion for sharing the wonder of science to children. He brings a wealth of experience to Science Dome and is an experienced rocks and fossils collector. Following 6 years of holidays in the Isle of Wight and also being local to the Jurassic Coast, Neil had a vision to show the wonder of Dinosaurs and rocks to schools, combining this with a show about the stars. Instead of just taking rocks into classrooms, Neil purchased his first Mobile Dome to bring to schools to show computerized film and pictures and combined this with his private collection of fossils. Neil has been amazed at the interest and take-up of the Science Dome service and now presents general science shows linked to Key Stages in subjects such as Light and Sound and Soils.

Neil is a committed Christian and loves to present the RS show using the Science Dome, sharing his awe at the wonder of God’s creation.

Mick is a collector of many objects from model trains and cars to historic pictures. He also finds time to fish!

Steve Blight is a computer specialist with many years of systems development experience. He is also experienced with working with young people through church and a youth club, and is a qualified adult education teacher. He has long been interested in the stars and planets, and believes that the latest computer-generated star scenes could capture the imagination of everyone who gets the chance to see them.  

Steve loves walking, camping, and generally being outside under the skies!

Kyle Doane is a member of the NASA JPL Solar System Ambassador program and has written curricula, delivered workshops, and given science demos for thousands of people across the United States.   Kyle’s work included developing the outreach curricula for the NOVA: Origins television series and operating the WILD WISE traveling, multimedia, environmental education program.  Since migrating to the UK, Kyle has been active in the British Science Association; Science and Engineering Ambassador; and the Science Oxford Discovery Zone.

His work in science communication began when, as a young father, Kyle had a dream that his son was asking him questions about how the world worked and Kyle knew none of the answers.   Kyle has since learned that knowing an absolute answer is far less important than keeping the curiosity alive to ask the question.

Every human culture has looked to the stars and the black, vastness of space with curiosity and awe.  The stars and our tiny planet orbiting around our star is our common heritage; unfortunately, the brightness of our cities has obscured the stars and stolen the night sky from us.  Kyle hopes the work of SCIENCE DOME will help reignite awe and curiosity to learn about our amazing world.
