It is our great pleasure to invite you and your students to the 2022 Texas A&M Physics
and Engineering Festival! This year, the festival will be offered both in-person AND
virtually — which means students from all across the country can attend! We are planning
a live-streamed event starting at 9:30 AM CST showcasing exciting, interactive science
demonstrations, talks by prominent scientists, and, of course, Q&A. We believe this
festival will help engage your students in the classroom by entertaining them with science
learning outside of it. On top of that, it’s free! The Festival will be April 2, 2022. More
updates will be posted on the Festival website at physicsfestival.tamu.edu and on social
media.
We expect several thousand people from all over the US to join us. Dozens of interactive
science exhibits for scientists of all ages will be run by our faculty and students and
streamed online with your students, who are encouraged to participate in Q&A. Some of
these demonstrations can be previewed on the Festival webpage and here at Real
Physics Live. Your students are welcome to submit questions about these demonstrations
and to the speakers in advance, and the best questions, announced with your school
name, will be live-streamed. Additionally, students can enter for a chance to win a box of
science goodies, and teachers and school administrators can enter to win goodies in a
giveaway exclusively for schools!
The 2022 Physics and Engineering Festival will feature public talks by popular science
writer and award-winning author Richard Panek, and professor of astronomy and winner
of the 2004 Carl Sagan Prize for Science Popularization Alex Filippenko. We’ll also have a
Texas-sized depth charge with five barrels and 1,000 plastic balls! Here is a promotional
video you can share with your students and their families.
If you would like to sign-up for our mailing list to receive future updates about the Festival,
please click here. Anyone aged 18 and over may join the list.
