Location: Rutherford Physics Building
Outreach Event

Are you interested in the mysteries of our planet and beyond? As part of 24 Hours of Science , McGill Physics Outreach and TSI Outreach are joining forces to host “From Planets to Particles: An Exploration Mini-Fair”. Join us on Saturday, May 2, 2026 between 10 pm to 4 pm in the Rutherford Physics Building on the McGill campus for hands-on activities and demos about gravity, life on other planets, energy, planetary systems, and more! We'll also set up telescopes for some solar observing, weather permitting. Activities are geared towards kids ages 5 -12, but younger and older siblings (and parents!) are welcome.

Fill out this form to register: https://tinyurl.com/planets-to-particles-2026

Most activities will be delivered in English, but we will have volunteers who can answer questions in French. Written materials and instructions will be available in French as well.
