Adria Brown, a Mines alumna who is currently completing her student teaching at JeffCo Open Schools, visited the Mines physics department with her students for a field trip last Friday, 11/15/19. They met with Drs. Callan, Kuo, Flournoy, and Pierce for lab tours, demos, and more. Lecture topics included string theory and optics, and students participated in hands-on demos including the Michelson-Morley interferometer, the wimhurst machine, and more. This provided a great opportunity for local students to interact with faculty members at Mines and gain experience with college-level physics.
