Event Details & Abstracts
10:15am - PISEC High School Poster Symposium - X-Wing
PISEC will have ~100 high school students from Englewood and Northglenn High Schools presenting physics, engineering, and chemistry projects they have been working on this semester/year under the guidance of undergraduate and graduate PISEC mentors. The poster session gives high school students the chance to engage in authentic scientific communication practices and talk with experts about their projects. Please consider attending to chat with the students about their projects and enjoy some refreshments.
12:15pm - High School Student Lab Tours - JILA
15-minute tours to groups of 10-12 students each. The tours will take place from 12:15-1:15pm. This is a great opportunity to practice communicating your research to a general audience.
The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
