Event Information:

We are thrilled to announce that our annual Faraday Show will be held on Sunday December 8th, in-person, on the UBC-Vancouver campus in HEBB 100.

The Faraday Show is UBC’s annual science lecture, designed for children and all those who are ‘young at heart’. It is presented by UBC Physics & Astronomy students, faculty and staff.

This year’s theme is: "Physics in your House!". We will answer questions such as, How does the best fire alarm work? Where does static electricity come from? Why do your windows mist up in the winter? All these and more will be answered through fun demonstrations and hands-on activities!

Show schedule:

  • Pre-Show (table top demonstrations): 1:15PM – 1:55PM
  • Stage Show (stage presentations): 2:00PM – 3:00PM

This show is FREE! We ask that you please bring non-perishable food items to support Greater Vancouver Food Bank member, The Kettle Society. No RSVP required, although we recommend arriving 15-20 minutes earlier for good seats.

*Planning Tip: 

Plan a day on campus! Mention “Faraday Show” and get 50% off admission at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum on Sunday December 8th, between 10am-5pm!
