Location: Bearded Iris - Sylvan Supply

From the tiniest sparks of particle collisions to the mysterious oceans on distant moons, join us for a journey across the extremes of the universe. Explore how high-speed smashups reveal the origins of matter, and dive into the search for water beyond Earth—where scientists hunt for clues to life beneath frozen surfaces.

From Big Bangs to Big Data: The Science of Particle Colliders

Jennifer James (Ph.D. Student - Vanderbilt University)

What happens when you smash particles at near light speed? Colliders let us peek into the universe’s deepest secrets—from the Big Bang to the building blocks of everything. Join us on a journey through the world of high-energy collisions, where tiny particles make big bangs—and even bigger discoveries!

Worlds of Water and Wonder

Erika Grundstrom (Principal Senior Lecturer & Director of Astronomy Labs - Vanderbilt University)

Within our Solar System, there is an abundance of water. Sometimes it's frozen, sometimes it's liquid, sometimes it's gaseous. We'll investigate such water in our stellar neighborhood and delve into the depths of worlds, especially moons, with likely liquid water under the frozen, exploring how the liquid exists and why scientists are so excited about it.
