Holiday Lecture: A Materials Wonderland: A Celebration of How Materials Science Makes Our Holidays Fun

Saturday December 12, 2020
1:00 PM

On Saturday, December 12th PCCM celebrated its annual Holiday Lecture: A Materials Wonderland: A Celebration of How Materials Science Makes Our Holidays Fun Led by Prof. Howard Stone.

The Holiday Lecture series is modeled on a famous set of presentations first given to children a century ago as part of the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures in London. The lectures highlight science in an engaging and fun forum for children age 7 and up. This event, which is free and open to the public, brings science to the community through experiments, audience participation, and highlights from current research. The lecture is a collaborative effort of the NSF MRSEC at Harvard and the NSF PCCM at Princeton.

This year’s lecture will be offered virtually via a Zoom Webinar. This annual event is free and open to the public, and all ages are welcome. Registration is required. You can register for your seat here.
