This year’s theme is IGNITE!

This is the time for you and your family to ignite your excitement, spark some joy, fuel your curiosity and feel the magic of science! There is so much to explore:

• Stop by “Atomic Curiosities” where we use uranium glass, a Geiger counter and UV flashlights to explain how radioactivity works
• Are rockets a hot topic in your household these days? You and the little ones accompanying you can build rockets, hit targets and get a “Rocket Scientist” badge
• The Human-Computer Interaction research group is excited to open its doors and showcase its research with robots using fun demonstrations, games and hands-on learning
