The Intergalactically Famous

Physics-is-for-Kids BBQs & Lectures!!

EVERY WEDNESDAY, FROM 5:15 PM - 6:30 PM

STARTING JUNE 24, THROUGH MID-AUGUST

ON THE GROUNDS OF THE ASPEN CENTER FOR PHYSICS

AT THE CORNER OF 6TH & GILLESPIE (JUST WEST OF THE MUSIC TENT PARKING LOT)

At the Aspen Science Center's Physics-is-for-Kids BBQs and Lectures, kids of all ages are interested in:

• really big questions -- cosmic questions;
• really tiny questions -- quantum physics questions;
• and everything in between.

For example, the Large Hadron Collider went online!  What does this mean?  It means it's time to head to the Intergalactically-famous Physics-Is-for-Kids BBQs & Lectures to discover what secrets of the (subatomic) universe could be unlocked by this happening!

Bring your kids and your appetites to our outdoor BBQs on the lawn of the Aspen Center for Physics, at the corner of 6th & Gillespie Streets from 5:15 to 6:30 p.m., rain or shine. We feature burgers, hotdogs, ice cream, volleyball, geodesic domes, science demonstrations, and pyrotechnics followed by a fascinating talk by an eminent physicist aimed at 10 year olds.

We cover everything from antimatter to galaxy formation to the size of the Universe and everything in it.....so come down to the Aspen Center for Physics every Wednesday from mid-June to mid-August and enjoy food for the body and the mind! Where else can you discuss quantum tunneling with a Nobel Laureate over a cheeseburger?

Another productive collaboration with the Aspen Center for Physics, our BBQs are the perfect combination of fun, food, eminent scientists, and engaged kids--we fed, enlightened and illuminated over 2100 community members last summer, breaking the previous year's record. These events take place on Wednesday afternoons during the summer on the beautiful campus of the Aspen Center for Physics; scientists participating in the Center's programs engage kids in lively discussions of science. (We consider attracting over 200 kids and parents to learn about string theory, given all of the competition from sports, music, Ideas Festival, jazz, etc., to be a major accomplishment!)
