Pi Day with Princeton Einstein™ Museum of Science @Princeton Public Library

Saturday March 15, 2025
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

The nascent Princeton Einstein™ Museum of Science will offer a variety of FREE hands on activities related to Einstein's scientific legacy on March 15 at the Princeton Public Library from 2-4 pm. They are suitable for ages 5-10.

Talk to Silvia Trinczek, a scientist from Princeton Plasma Physics Lab, to receive a free compass or space tattoo, while supplies last. Ask her your most probing physics question, or if you are not sure what to ask, choose one from our suggestions including "why is the sky blue" and "what's inside a black hole?" Then try a prototype "thought experiment," which will be featured in the museum's 2025 exhibit, Einstein's Brain: Mind of a Genius. You can also play with magnetism activities and take home fun worksheets on the speed of light and do-at-home magnetism experiments.

Information on the future museum is at PrincetonEinsteinMuseum.org.
