Fermilab’s Family Open House will be an opportunity for the family to spend an afternoon learning about science in a hands-on way and have fun doing it. Fermilab is America’s premier particle physics and accelerator laboratory, in Batavia. This year’s event will run from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 10, and will feature the Great Neutrino Hunt, the Cooler than Cool show in the auditorium, a memorial to former director Leon Lederman, and several activities for kids and their parents to enjoy.
New to this year’s Open House, the Great Neutrino Hunt, host is Fermilab Friends for Science Education. Use your detector to find the elusive neutrinos and become a part of the collaboration. The event will also feature a live event where participants will take part in a virtual visit of the Sanford Underground Research Facility, site of the future Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, hosted by Fermilab.
