The Intergalactically Famous Physics BBQs!!

Forget politicians bickering over who's the best to have a beer with---we're interested in bigger questions,; for example, the Large Hadron Collider is about to turn on! What does this mean? It means it's time to head immediately to the Intergalactically-famous Physics-Is-for-Kids BBQ to discover what secrets of the (subatomic) universe could be unlocked by this happening!

Bring your kids and your appetites to the FREE outdoor barbecue on the lawn of the Aspen Center for Physics, 700 Gillespie St. from 5:00 to 6:30 PM. We feature burgers, hotdogs, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, volleyball, geodesic domes 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 starting June 18 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!)
