UAF scientists demonstrate a thermite reaction during Science Potpourri 2024.
The annual Science Potpourri returns to the ˮƵ on Saturday, April 12. Designed to spark children’s curiosity about the sciences, this free all-ages event will take place from noon to 3 p.m. in the Reichardt Building on the Troth Yeddha’ Campus.
This year’s theme, “Science: The Last Frontier,” will feature a medley of demonstrations and hands-on activities that span across the sciences.
Children will learn about explosions, fossils, volcanos, the Aurora Borealis, animals and space while enjoying liquid nitrogen ice cream in a safe and fun learning environment. There will be a scavenger hunt with prizes and educational crafts to take home as well.
Science Potpourri is presented by the UAF College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics with support from Cathy Cahill, Paul Layer and the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium. Parking on campus is free on the weekend.
