Neil Antony Carrington
Founder and Director
Neil graduated from Kings College London in 1986 with a degree in Geology and Geography. He is the founder of Science Dome and Science Zone has a great passion for sharing the wonder of science to children. He brings a wealth of experience to the Science Zone and is an experienced rock and fossils collector. Following 6 years of holidays to 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 with a Science Dome. Neil purchased his first Mobile Dome in 2005 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 launched the Science Zone in Feb 2016 to the local community. This is a STEM based outreach (Science, Tech, Maths and Coding) and bring science to the general public and children.

Connor "Professor Who" Skerman
Workshop Presenter and Customer Services
Connor has been studying childcare since his school days and has worked in preschools for the past 5 years. He, like Professor Solo, has an NVQ in Child & Young Peoples Workforce as well as a
GCSE in Child Development. Connor is passionate about physics and believes that physics is the language of the universe. Having Connor at the Zone is great for us and he has great potential for
carrying the business forward. Alongside Professor Solo he will be completing an astronomy diploma and looks forward to travelling alongside his colleagues to teach the next generation. Connor loves
to use his spare time furthering his knowledge of all things science. It’s not all work though as Connor is an avid video game and movie enthusiast. One day Connor hopes to follow in the footsteps of
his hero, the Doctor, and master time travel!
