Teachers come and engage your students with STEM concepts! Have you ever wondered how things work? How space travel is possible? Why some things float and other things sink? How we generate electricity? How sound travels? Let’s discover the answers together! Our undergraduate physics students, with guidance from professors Dr. Joanne O’Meara and the Great Orbax, have designed an online program for students in grades 6-8, as well as community youth groups.
