We showed demos at the Rochester Public Market on August 29th, letting passers-by interact with cool physics concepts. We also visited the Brighton Farmers’ Market on October 4th, allowing the public to experience fun free science.

Participants also got a free lunch and the opportunity to see some cool demos! Thanks to all our volunteers and participants! [Read More]
