当代野生动物艺术
2024年9月7日[ 注册 ]
Laura McManus, Curator of Education, Maier Museum of Art

Get a sneak peek at the Maier’s newest exhibition before it opens to the public! Animals of the natural world have inspired artists since time immemorial. “Vita Wild: 当代野生动物艺术” features nine contemporary artists whose work depicts animals in the American wilderness 和 their connection to ecosystems. The unique large-scale paintings with sculptural elements by Mark Messersmith will inspire your own mixed media works. 

Wrapping, Folding, Geometry, 和 Topology
2024年9月14日[ 注册 ]
Marc Ordower, Chair, Department of Mathematics 和 Computer 科学

Come see what amazing things you can do with math!

Assume or Presume: The Use of Presumptive Testing in Forensic Chemistry
2024年9月21日[ 注册 ]
Ann Fabirkiewicz, Charles A Dana Professor of Chemistry

Often in forensic work there is a need for a quick 和 simple test in the field to determine if a substance is a cause for concern (or arrest!).  使用简单的, over the counter medications as examples, we will look at the chemical basis for some tests, then use them in the lab to identify an unknown white powder.

声悬浮
2024年9月28日[ 注册 ]
Jonathan Skelton, Assistant Professor of 工程

Ever want to levitate something like a magician? In this course we will learn how sound waves can be controlled to make water droplets 和 small objects float in the air. We will dive into the physics of acoustics 和 then walk through how all of the 电 components work so that you can make your very own acoustic levitator at home.

艺术与抗议
2024年10月5日[ 注册 ]
Leslie Shipley, Associate Professor of Art History
Laura McManus, Curator of Education, Maier Museum of Art

The visual arts have played a vital role in movements for social change. Using examples from the Maier’s collection 和 beyond, we will investigate ways art is used as a tool for resistance. Then we will create protest art using the “photomontage” technique, a collage style invented by Dada artists of the early 20th century.

Robotics 和 Mechatronics with the Arduino
2024年10月19日[ 注册 ]
彼得·谢尔顿，物理学教授 & 工程

Mechatronics engineering is the marriage of mechanical, 电, 计算机工程, often used for robotics 和 manufacture engineering. We will learn the basic operation of the Arduino microcontroller, 用它来控制灯光, 听起来, 和汽车, 如果时间允许的话.

Eyes on the Sky: The why, when, 和 how of meteorological phenomena
2024年10月26日[ 注册 ]
Karin Warren, Herzog Family Chair of Environmental Studies

Sky watchers know the view above our heads is filled with extraordinary things—rainbows 和 double rainbows, 冰晶光晕, 极光, 还有各种各样的云. We’ll explore some meteorology 和 physics behind a variety of atmospheric phenomena, 并了解何时, 在哪里, 和 how to keep our eyes on the skies to spot them.

生蚝与水质
2024年11月2日[ 注册 ]
Sarah Sojka, Associate Professor of Marine 科学

在这个实验活动中, you will get to watch how oysters can improve water quality 和 design an experiment to test what affects how quickly oysters can clear the water.

Fitness Assessments: Flexibility, Balance, 和 Blood Pressure
2024年11月9日[ 注册 ]
Carolyn Sarson, Associate Professor of Sport 和 Exercise Studies

We will do fitness assessments 和 discuss their meaning 和 importance.

幻想的科学
2024年11月16日[ 注册 ]
Blair Gross, Associate Professor of Psychology

Have you ever wondered how your minds see 和 hear the world around us? In this class we will explore a variety of mind-blowing visual, 听觉, 和 taste illusions that teach us the inner workings of how our perceptual systems construct our experiences of the world around us.

Matlab中的蛋白质折叠
2024年11月23日[ 注册 ]
Katrin Schenk, Associate Professor of Physics & 工程

In this session we will learn a bit of Matlab programming to visualize real protein folding data!
