All the students chose to do live demonstrations at the Museum of Science for their projects.

Building Demo Prototypes

These photos were taken during the development process while the students were creating their hands-on activities during the January internship.

Testing Demo Prototypes

These are photos of the students demonstrating their hands-on activities with museum visitors.  Lei Sun developed a hands-on activity about how mobius strips can represent the movement of electrons in Topological Insulators; Tian Ming developed a hands-on activity about how cell phone displays work; Tom Mahony developed a hands-on activity about polarized light and lasers; and Nadav Geva developed a hands-on activity about electron-hole pairs.

Sharing Science Practicum

These are photos of students learning how to deliver hands-on activities and practicing with museum visitors.
