Our Universe Revealed (All-Ages Events)

As a part of the Our Universe Revealed public talks, several events in the series are designated as serving all ages and occur every few months throughout the year. These events consist of fun and exciting scientific demos and activities (occasionally involving an artistic component as well) which children and adults alike find fascinating! Past events have included making geometric patterns from sound, creating a colorful nebula in a bottle, tasting ice cream made from sub-zero liquid nitrogen, and exploring the extreme environments of other planets. Events are free but ticketed. Visit http://universerevealed.nd.edu/ or email Jonathan Crass (j.crass@nd.edu) for more information.

JINA Art 2 Science

Art to Science is a part of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics (JINA) engagement program focused at elementary school level children (Grades 2-6). It introduces them to basic concepts in physics like energy, forces, and atoms. The program includes opportunities for children to both learn and participate in fun activities like arts and crafts. JINA’s Art to Science program introduces children to the wonders of the physical universe! Projects utilize a multidisciplinary approach to learning. Scientists bring one of our successful camp projects to homeschool groups, classrooms and after school programs. For more information contact Micha Kilburn at mkilburn@nd.edu
