Format of Event

On April 3rd, 2020 the Weber State Physics Department will be opening their doors and allowing us to hold a fundraising event for the Doris Parker Women of Physics Scholarship Fund. The event will begin with opening remarks in the Tracy Hall Science Center at the Ogden Campus on the first floor in room TY 102 at 5:00 PM. Following this, Weber State faculty members and students will be giving tours of their labs for free to the public. Some of these labs will include hands on events for children as well. See the descriptions below to learn more about the physics that will be on display.
