History
Mad Science of Long Island was established on October 2003, but Mad Science Group was founded in 1985 in Montreal, Canada. The story starts with two brothers, Ariel and Ron Shlien, who had fun conducting spectacular science experiments to the amazement of the children in their neighborhood. At the age of 12, Ariel used three hundred dollars he had saved working a paper route to purchase a helium-neon laser and started offering laser light shows to local DJs. In January 1986, the teacher of a science and technology course at a local Montreal YMCA brought in the brothers and their laser to offer his students a great grand finale to his course. The brothers' show was an instant and sensational success. The brothers were hired to run a regular weekend science enrichment program. The YMCA's science and nature program would never be the same, and Mad Science was born.
