Bringing Physics to the Community for People of All Ages
Our chapter regularly promotes physics to the general public in addition to the outreach efforts focused on students in grades K-12. We annually show physics demonstrations at a city event called Hubfest. This event draws attendees from all over Mississippi and the SPS booth draws crowds of spectators. We provide demonstrations in Thermodynamics usually and are looking to expand into more Optics demonstrations this year.
