SUMMARY:Science with Cyclones - Reiman Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Bring the kids for an evening of free science fair fun!\nWed.\, Nov. 12\, 5:30 – 7 p.m. \nScience with Cyclones is inspired by a famous program at The Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University–called the Flame Challenge–in which scientists craft engaging explanations of everyday\, yet complex\, scientific concepts that can draw in a young audience (for example\, explaining what a flame is). Similarly\, Science with Cyclones has science students from Iowa State University explaining concepts like ‘How does lightening work\,’ ‘What is a blood type\,’ and ‘Why do boats float’ with interactive displays to explore. \nCy will attend and learn alongside guests! \nThis event is co-hosted by Reiman Gardens and the Iowa State University English Department.\nView Science with Cyclones Poster Fall 2025.pdf
