Hey Vancouver kids and families!
Our annual Faraday Show is UBC’s premium 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: Expanding our Senses & Movements with Tech! We will explore questions such as: What is it like to see beyond the dark like reindeer, or snakes? How can we sense invisible forces? and How can tech improve our balance?

Abstract:
The WST project aims to design and construct an innovative 10-metre class wide-field spectroscopic survey telescope (WST) in the southern hemisphere. It will feature the parallel operation of two cutting-edge instruments: a high-multiplex (30,000), large field-of-view (3 square degrees) multi-object spectrograph (MOS) operating in both low- and high-resolution modes, and a giant panoramic integral field spectrograph (IFS).
