We thank all the groups that helped out at Physics/Sccience/Math Days this year. The event was successful as always and students made strong connections to concepts they learned in their science classes by injecting themselves into the action.Thank you to Robin McGlohn who took some of the photos above. The rest were taken by your webmaster.
