Cambridge Science Carnival

The Physics Department is hosting a booth at the Cambridge Science Carnival on Sunday, September 21, 12:00 – 4:00 p.m. ET at the Kendall/MIT Open Space. This is a wonderful opportunity for people of all ages to connect with and celebrate science with hundreds of STEAM-themed activities and innovations!

Be sure to drop by our booth 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; and engage with plasma lighting. Kids will be entertained in our signature “Jupiter’s Junior Junction” and “Stellar Smoosh Station” – a place where cosmic cubs can blossom their love for science!
