Frankenstein, rocks from space, sink or swim, cumulus clouds, and the chemistry of cooking—these are just some of the science topics on tap for this semester's family-friendly CU Wizards series, led primarily by faculty.
Under the direction of Professor David Nesbitt, these free interactive shows are presented once a month on Saturdays from September through June. The shows are geared toward children and young adults, but all are welcome to attend!
Each program starts at 9:30 a.m. and lasts about an hour. No reservations are required. Most shows take place in the Duane Physics (G1B30) or Cristol Chemistry (CHEM 140, 142) buildings, but this year there are special programs scheduled to take place at Old Main Chapel Theater and Fiske Planetarium. Parking is available in the Euclid parking structure.
