A Holiday Lecture for Children and their Parents

Seeing is believing – or is it? Every day we observe the world around us, but a lot of objects move either too slow or too fast for us to understand what is happening with just our eyes. Scientists and engineers have invented many tools that help us either slow down or speed up the action so that we can make more accurate observations. In this interactive presentation led by Professor Howard Stone of Princeton University, we will learn about some different techniques for capturing images, and apply them to understanding how sounds are made, how things break, and the secret life of small organisms. Audience participation is a big part of this interactive show, and every kid gets a science related t-shirt!

Faster than the Blink of an Eye!

How fast is the blink of an eye? How can we “see” sound? What can fast cameras reveal about the world around us?
