About this event

* WAIVER REQUIRED*

Because of the interactive nature of this event, there is a waiver required for participation

This workshop is intended to give participants an introductory idea of the key concepts in Newtonian Physics like forces, friction, and angular momentum that circus performers use to their advantage in their acts.

Get a more intuitive feel for these concepts yourself through the different interactive museum-style stations.

This event will be especially relevant for K-12 students but all are welcome!
