The University of Idaho’s College of Science is hosting a two-day science event, known as Vandal Science Days, starting today. This event offers the public of all ages the chance to engage in hands-on experimenting and learn about the science programs available at U of I.
Vandal Science Days provides attendees with the opportunity to listen to presentations from professors on topics such as the usage of arsenic in beauty products and how science and music can complement each other, among others. Additionally, participants can engage in hands-on science activities like fossil digs, comet making, and virtual realities for sustainable futures.
Cindy Barnhart from the College of Science’s Communication and Marketing department mentioned that this event coincides with the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival. This allows attendees to explore how science and music can complement each other. Moreover, prospective U of I science students have the opportunity to win a $500 college of science scholarship at Vandal Science Days. The event will continue tomorrow, Saturday April 20th, from 10 am to 3 pm at the Integrated Research and Innovation Center on the U of I campus.
