Breakfast of Science Champions
Comets, craters and computer hard drives, oh my… The Center for Emergent Materials (CEM) and the Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics (CCAPP) team up as students and teachers from local Columbus schools explore hands-on activities including a super conducting train exhibition, liquid nitrogen demonstrations, nanomagnetism and computer activities, snowballs and explosions in our solar system: comets and craters and surprises about gravity and motion. Participants begin the morning by having breakfast with scientists and a visit to the planetarium; the rest of the morning is spent engaging in hands-on science activities. (Workshops last approximately 2.5 hours- including breakfast.)
