Cambridge Science Carnival

Cambridge Science Carnival is an annual STEAM celebration featuring hundreds of interactive activities for visitors of all ages!

At the Department of Physic’s “Physics for the People” booth, you’re in for unique experiences that will equally excite every armchair scientist and professional physicist: Make objects fall into a black hole; touch the mysterious dark matter; see cosmic particles zapping through our cloud chamber faster than a tiger on catnip; safely observe the Sun with our Eclipsinator and radio telescope from the Center for Radio Astronomy (CfRA) at Northeastern University.

Kids will be entertained in our signature “Stellar Smoosh Station” – a place where cosmic cubs can blossom their love for science! Additionally, we have human scientists available who can provide answers for all your questions about the Universe we live in, such as what is the age of the Universe, is there life on Mars, and what is the difference between pasta and noodles.
