UNO SPS-Sponsored Projects
Possible projects for the 2008-2009 school year. We are in DESPERATE need of help to plan these events so if you think it will be fun, please contact us!
- Einstein Week 2009 -- Need ideas for guest speakers as well as more community-inclusive events. Note that Einstein Week may coincide with some other events/projects.
- Demonstrations -- If you like building cool science stuff, let us know. We like large flashy things that show off principles of physics.
- Observatory Nights -- Holding more regular open-houses with our telescope. Includes designing some presentation materials to go with it (particularly suited for younger kids)
- Fund-raising -- Not just for ourselves and our own events, but also helping raise money for worthy charities and/or educational outreach programs.
- Science Challenge -- If we can get volunteers to contact schools and talk with teachers, it would be nice to have a small event in the Spring for middle/high school. A trebuchet-building contest, etc. Would need help drafting rules and being judges, etc.
