Club Description

The UMass Science Outreach Club is a group of dedicated undergraduate and graduate students at UMass Amherst who perform physics demonstrations for kids in kindergarten through high school. Our goal is to encourage in kids an interest in science, particularly in physics. Currently we have six presentations on the topics of pressure, momentum, electricity and magnetism, waves, optics, and astronomy, but we are always thinking of new shows. We also have a meeting once a week to discuss club business and the demos that we’ll do at upcoming events. If you’re interested in science, teaching, and having fun, then please check us out!
