Due to Covid-19 restriction, unfortunately the 2020 Faraday Show is cancelled. Here are a few other activities you could consider:
- The Physics of Santa event on December 17, 2021. This event is expected to be at a level appropriate for the general public and high school students who have an interest in physics and astronomy.
- A Science A Day calendar via UBC Science, with daily science activities (including some from us!).
2019 Faraday Show “Fix it with Physics!” Quirky Solutions to Daily Problems
WHERE: Hebb 100 Theatre (2045 East Mall, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z1) (UBC CAMPUS). The North Parkade is the closest parking lot to the Hebb Building.
WHEN: SUNDAY, December 8, 2019, 2:00-3:30 PM
COST : FREE! (But bring non-perishable food items to support the local Food Bank!) No RSVP required, though we recommend arriving 15-20 minutes earlier for good seats.
The Faraday Show is UBC’s annual science lecture, designed for children, presented by UBC Physics & Astronomy. This year the show will feature creative and quirky ways a physicist might solve everyday problems! Your alarm clock won’t stop? Lightbulbs don’t work? Recycling pop cans is a chore? No problem! Join us to find solutions to these inconveniences and learn the physics and science behind everyday things – through demonstrations and hands-on activities. This show is for children of ALL AGES, and adults who are young at heart!
For more information please contact the outreach program at: outreach@phas.ubc.ca / 604-822-0596.
