Society of Physics Students

The Society of Physics Students is a service organization for students either majoring, minoring, or interested in physics. The SPS works with the MXIBS to present exciting physics demonstrations to K-12 students each semester.

19 April 2007

The SPS held its second demonstration show, hosting elementary school students from the KQ&K Program at the MXIBS. Our expanded demonstrations included those from the previous show, plus some air demonstrations and some optics demonstrations.
