Nathan Schreiber

Nathan Schreiber returns to the show to talk about his newest project using a series of graphic novels designed to teach chemistry concepts. Building off of the popular game, Valence uses science ninjas in an action packed adventure that teaches foundational chemistry about what makes up the universe, how it’s measured, and how it’s transformed. Nathan joins us to discuss his games and graphic novels, describe how his characters can engage students in learning science, and share a sneak peak at his next project!

    My family and I love all of Nathan Schreiber’s Science Ninja comics and games! They make learning scientific principles both interesting and fun. With help, even young children can play the Valence game because of clever color and number matching.

    We like playing Valence Plus as a team–no tears happen because everyone works together to create all of the compounds, so everyone wins.

    The Science Ninja descriptions and other descriptions on the cards and in the little booklet are often hilarious.

    I have given many books and games to neighbor children. They (and I) are waiting anxiously until Nathan finishes the rest of the books and the circuit game!

    Nathan has incredible customer service, too. I am so glad I found his games and books on Kickstarter a few years ago. It is money well spent!
