Join us for an engaging afternoon on dark matter! a collection of scientists and educators at the McDonald Institute at Queen鈥檚 University are running a free afternoon workshop for high school students covering the essence of science, the astronomical evidence of dark matter, how particle detectors work and led to our understanding of the standard model of physics. We will then dive deep into the Earth to take a close look at SNOLAB, the underground science facility where detectors are looking for dark matter. We鈥檒l conclude with a tour of the McDonald Institute Visitor Centre and Stirling Hall physics labs and then invite you to stay for some free pizza and chat with other interested students and ask questions of our scientists.
The workshop will end in time for students to join the Dark Matter Day lecture starting at 7pm.
