EVENT: The University of Michigan Department of Physics’ family-friendly Saturday Morning Physics lecture series is turning 30 this year. To celebrate, student-led groups from physics, the Department of Astronomy and the College of Engineering will provide demos and hands-on activities for curious minds of all ages to explore.

The celebration will include an all-ages presentation entitled “Good Vibrations: The Science of Vibrations, Sound and Hearing.” Afterwards, there will be activities brought to you by ZEUS, the university’ high-powered laser facility, and a visit from “Spot” the robot dog, who will delight the audience with dancing and more.

The event is free and open to the public.
