Schools and Parents

Get POP! The Physics Outreach Project facilitates science-enrichment programs for children of all ages, with Binghamton University student volunteers as presenters. These programs are offered either on campus or in local schools. POP specializes in multi-station, small-group programs with highly-interactive demonstrations and activities which help children gain a better understanding of science concepts.

POP after-school programs are the mainstay of our efforts to bring science to the masses. These science club programs are large (up to 120 kids!), interactive (group size is 8 or less), and FREE!

Besides the dozens and dozens of after-school programs we’ve done since 2009, POP also has done a variety of other campus and community programs:

  • Liquid nitrogen loans to qualifying educators (training provided) 
  • University Day at the Mall (2020 was our tenth appearance!)
  • BU Late Nite themed events
  • Res-Life events … with liquid nitrogen ice cream!
  • Special programs for Kopernik Observatory’s summer camps
  • Special programs for BU Research Days
  • A special science program for children of refugees at the Event Center, during the historic flood of 2011
  • Fundraiser events for local charities
