The Apprentice programs are small, hands-on workshops in which enthusiastic renowned scientists in interesting fields educate the curious. Your favorite song, a goofy laugh, the drip of a leaky faucet: Sound literally surrounds us, and bombards us with competing waves, every minute of the day. Let NYU physics professor David Grier rattle your eardrums with hands-on experiments in understanding how we sort out the chaos. How does changing the way vibrations travel transform a sound and the way we experience it? How is it possible there are certain sounds we can’t hear at all? Engage all your senses as you bounce laser beams off mirrors, send pulses through tubes, and learn to decipher the wild and noisy, but satisfyingly predictable, world of sound.
This is a drop-off workshop where young scientists learn directly from leading scientists, technologists, and innovators. Ages: Elementary School.
