The Physics Factory
Share
Inspired by the successful Physics Phun Nights at the University of Arizona, the Physics Factory has grown to include outreach programs, student mentoring, resources for science teachers, and many other programs. Raising kids' interest in science can be a challenge, especially if they've only experienced "science" as textbook drudgery. Our traveling Physics Bus shows get their attention with huge
Physics Bus #7: The William S. Bickel Memorial Physics Bus, a.k.a. the Bickel Bus. Exterior design (in progress) by Clara Valenzuela, Damian Arroyo, Delaney Thomas, Hannah Montague, and Hannah's friend Cat (whose last name I don't know) . We're so lucky to have you accomplished artists working with us!

We just did our lasts Bus event for the year at Mesquite Elementary, and we had a wonderful time. Charles and Camille Stutzman were among our earliest supporters, and have been extremely generous with us for many years. Their two wonderful kids are at Mesquite, so we wanted to make at least a small gesture of appreciation for all they have done.
On another note, I'm moving and still have a lot of miscellaneous treasures I need to get rid of. If you're a Physics Factory family, you can take what you want (that's marked). If you want, you can leave a donation, but no one will be watching. We'll be happy just to find good homes for these sacred-to-the-right-person "objets science".
