Chaos! Or, more exactly, ACCHaoS!
The latest episode of Academic Transfer in Focus is about an outreach program in our Physics Department that they call ACCHaoS. ACCHaoS is apparently a physics joke in addition to standing for “hands-on science”. It’s a traveling show that our Physics faculty takes to various elementary schools, libraries, and other gathering spaces. The goal is to get schoolchildren to see the wonders – and the fun – of science.
The Department of Physics, Astronomy, and Engineering also hosts star parties periodically – and there’s one planned for September 6 at the Round Rock Campus, if you’re interested.
Such good work – helping all of us learn a bit more about science, and helping school children learn that science can be fun.
Hat tip to our dedicated Physics faculty for this wonderful outreach to our community. To learn more, watch this.
