New Mexico State University's Physics Graduate Student Organization (PGSO) will host their annual Physics Fun Day on March 24, Friday from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm at Gardiner Hall, NMSU. This popular event, which has been taking place since 2009 obviously last couple of years has been difficult to organize because of COVID-19, is designed to introduce the public to the exciting world of physics. With hands-on demonstrations and some poster presentations, participants will get a glimpse into the cool physics demos. The experiment will be set-up outdoor and indoor of Gardiner Hall. PGSO's commitment to diversity and inclusion within STEM fields is evident through the event's aim to attract a diversified audience, including high school students, college students, and members of the NMSU community. The experiments will be presented in multiple languages, including Spanish, to ensure that everyone can participate and engage with the demonstrations. The goal of the event is not only to generate excitement for physics but to showcase the kind of work and research that takes place at NMSU's Physics department. The demonstrations will cover basic physics concepts such as conservation of energy and angular momentum, as well as more advanced topics like optics and space-time curvature. Additionally, attendees will get to see and taste ice cream made with liquid nitrogen. President of PGSO, Krishna Acharya said that Physics Fun Day is not just about fun; it's about inspiring the next generation of scientists and showcasing the importance of physics dissemination. PGSO believes that diversifying the field of physics is crucial for the advancement of science and society as a whole.
