Our next MIT campus Science on Saturday event will be “Nuclear Science and Engineering” on December 5th.
Did you know that your smoke alarm uses nuclear physics, or that people used to eat off uranium-glazed plates?
How can nuclear science and engineering be used to safely create everything from smoke alarms to cancer treatments to electric power plants?
Come find out!
Volunteers from the audience can help with fun demonstrations on stage, and everyone can participate at hands-on activity tables afterward.
