Join a network of Minnesota educators that are enthusiastic about physics!!  At each bi-monthly meeting, we focus on a physics topic of choice - this one will be Electromagnetic Waves and their properties!

We meet the second Saturday of each odd month (except May) at four sites around the state - and connect all together with Zoom.  Come to any of our sites where we'll have make and take activities for everyone to bring home.

Here is our regular ZOOM LINK.
