Faraday Show

Save the date!

Our 2024 Faraday Show is on Sunday, December 8th, 2024 in HEBB Theatre

We are thrilled to announce the date for our 2024 Annual Faraday Show: on Sunday December 8th, in-person, at the UBC-Vancouver campus.

This year’s theme is: Physics in your House!. How does the best fire alarm work? Where does static electricity come from? Why do your windows mist up in the winter?

All these questions and more will be answered through fun demonstrations and hands-on activities!

We’re working hard on this show, recruiting students and coming up with the most incredible and gripping physics presentations and demonstrations we can pull out for this exciting, science-inviting, invigorating physics children’s performance!
