Events for the Public

Education and outreach activities for the public are designed to introduce general audiences to Materials Science and Materials Scientists. CRISP faculty, staff, and students contribute to a variety of programs such as Peabody Museum of Natural History displays; CRISPEY Parents Night Out; Public Lectures; Demo Days; MRSEC open house events; video productions; and, workshops.  The major objective of these programs is to improve the scientific literacy of the public sector and to expose them to cutting-edge Materials Science research.  In order to impact audiences on a tangible level, the focus of these programs is on real life applications rather than on abstract concepts. 

For more information about these programs, please contact: Dr. Christine Broadbridge, Education Director, or, Ms. Heather Edgecumbe, Education and Outreach Coordinator.
