Last weekend, MSI staff members participated in the College of Science and Engineering’s 2013 Math and Science Family Fun Fair. The Fair was held on Saturday, November 16 in Coffman Memorial Union. This annual event is designed for young people to learn about science, technology, engineering, and math in a fun and interesting way. About 4,000 visitors attended this year.
Staff at the MSI exhibit helped visitors make models of methane and sodium chloride, using toothpicks, gumdrops, and marshmallows. Visitors could also see a movie of work done at MSI and a 3D visualization of computational molecular modeling. The MSI team gave away over 1,000 molecule kits and the exhibit was busy the entire day.
