For the first time ever, the Carnegie Science Earth & Planets Laboratory is opening its doors for a free science Open House—and you're invited! 🌎🪐💎🌋
At EPL, scientists study everything from the rocks beneath our feet to the planets and stars above. It's where researchers unlock the secrets of earthquakes, volcanoes, meteorites, and even the origins of life on Earth.
Now we invite you to see for yourself!
- Build your own spectrometer and see light in a whole new way.
- Erupt the "trashcano" and explore the power of Earth's interior.
- Touch a meteorite and peek at Mars up close.
And that's just the beginning. There will be many more activities to explore throughout the day, scientists to meet, and tasty science snacks to enjoy.
