The Crankpot Industries Website has been designed to educate children about aspects of Science!

The Scientists at Crankpot Industries have been busily working in their LABs finding out all about their area of science, sometimes having to correct Professor Crankpot’s misconceptions!

Crankpot Industries was founded by Professor Crankpot as a place where he could develop his love of science. At Crankpot industries the Professor has his team of scientists to help him. Following a failed experiment many years ago, Professor Crankpot lost his memory and is now sometimes confused about what he knows. His scientists help him out.

Crankpot Industries is a multi national company and has many site around the world. The Bedlington site is the largest with around 200 full time scientists.

Recently Professor Crankpot was approached by Olive Stein, the businesswoman, about a joint venture between Crankpot Industries and her company, Portal Press Publishing. Olive wanted to develop a new range of educational websites, the first of which was to be about science! Olive had the business know how, but needed the Professor and his scientists to provide the science!

And so, for a period of 5 weeks, the Professor and his scientists at Crankpot Industries under the watchful eye of Olive developed this website. A website to inspire and educated children about many different aspects of science.

Olive also used her contacts at her TV studio, Station Studios, to create Crankpot TV! CP:TV is a series of short, did you know TV shows to compliment the website and offer a more in-depth look at the science.
