I ❤ Science: Saturday Morning Physics is 4 U

Love your inner geek at the spring Saturday Morning Physics programs at Texas A&M University. This free program is a National Science Foundation funded event designed to indulge Texas high school students in the fascinating subatomic world of modern physics. No prerequisites, except curiosity, are necessary to attend the 9 a.m. to 12 noon Saturday morning series that includes seminars, discussion, quizzes, experiments and tours of campus.

This is the seventh year that subjects ranging from elementary particles to the applications of Nanoscale have been illumined for students and their teachers. February 11 will be the third of seven-part series. On-site registration is possible until 9:20 a.m. the day of the seminar but online registration is preferred by visiting http://cyclotron.tamu.edu/smp/

All programs are held at the Physics Department in the Hawking Auditorium of the George P. Mitchell Physics Building on the Texas A&M campus. For questions about the Saturday Morning Physics program, contact Dr. Ralf Rapp (rapp@comp.tamu.edu) or Dr. Rainer Fries (rjfries@comp.tamu.edu) or visit cyclotron.tamu.edu/smp/ .
