SLAC's young scientists talk about how they became
interested in their field of research.
Due to space limitations, sponsors, parents, and escorts
will not be able to attend the morning sessions. |

Afternoon Science Talks with Uwe Bergmann
and Ryan Coffee
Kids, sponsors, escorts and other workshop volunteers are invited
to an ice cream social on the lawn in front of the breezeway
of Panofsky Auditorium at 2:30, just after the last workshop
is over. There will be an opportunity to relax and re-energize
before the final, fun science talks.
3:00 pm, Panofsky Auditorium
9 - 11 years old (Workshops A and B)
Unraveling Mysteries of the Dinobird
Ever been curious about
dinosaurs, and how scientists study dinosaur
fossils? Learn about the famous Archaeopteryx, a
fossilized skeleton that is part dinosaur, part
bird. Scientists discovered this dinobird more than
150 years ago, but because of exciting new science
at SLAC, they are learning even more about the
dinobird today.

LASERS
Learn more about the exciting
possibilities with lasers. Most people are familiar
with lasers, but did you know that at SLAC, lasers
are used to study very small particles such as atoms
and molecules? Find out more about how lasers work,
and how they can be used to see the movement of
these tiny particles. These experiments help
scientists understand fundamentals in fields like
biology, chemistry and beyond.
