2019 Faraday Show “Fix it with Physics!” Quirky Solutions to Daily Problems

WHEN: SUNDAY, December 8, 2019, 2:00-3:30 PM

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.
