@HortonKandi We love to see all the beautiful creations that are made using science! These are such wonderful pieces of art! 🎨🌈🔦

[Kandi Horton @HortonKandi]

It may have been gray outside...but we found color inside! We loved playing with polarized film to create art @UWMRSEC! I think we have some modern Picassos in the making! We discovered new colors by layering and rotating materials to make some cool designs! #wcsfligt #FunScience

Come see us tomorrow evening at Science on the Square as part of @WiSciFest! We'll be on the 600 block of State St here in Madison. It'll be a lot of fun for the whole family, so we hope to see you there!

[UW-Madison MRSEC @UWMRSEC]

We hope you're as excited for this year's #ScienceExpeditions as we are! Lots of great stuff to check out this April 9-11, including lots of fun, inexpensive, at-home science activities from us! https://t.co/mkLpaPx7Of

@caahayes A6: Fortunately, we work with excellent researchers and teachers who come up with amazing ideas based upon materials science research. We develop great ideas through our summer Research Experience for Teachers. Apply here! https://t.co/spu84mJOj7 #NSTAchat

[UW-Madison MRSEC @UWMRSEC]

@caahayes A5: There are experiments online (https://t.co/tI42aJaNT9) that do not require costly materials or equipment. There are fundamental science processes you can do outside or in school like making observations, taking measurements, & recording and analyzing data. #NSTAchat (2/2)

[UW-Madison MRSEC @UWMRSEC]

@caahayes A5: If you have a college or university near you, we recommend seeking out on-campus programs that your students can participate in. For example, we are part of an on-campus field trip program for school groups to do science experiments in a research lab. #NSTAchat (1/2)

[UW-Madison MRSEC @UWMRSEC]

@HillaryScience @caahayes Safety first! :)

[UW-Madison MRSEC @UWMRSEC]

@caahayes A4: We also created free kits to distribute to schools and in the community. With a limited budget, we had to think about how we could create an interesting and engaging activity at low cost. #NSTAchat (2/2)

[UW-Madison MRSEC @UWMRSEC]

@caahayes A4: COVID prompted us to create more shoestring activities through our At Home videos. We thought about what people would have in their home and adapted our existing activities to the home environment. https://t.co/vNZQ65xJZV #NSTAchat (1/2)
