If you
check the UF Astronomy website, under affiliations and partners, you’ll
find a new logo. It’s the one from the USA Science and Engineering Festival.
In its 2012
edition, UF astronomy, IFAS and Engineering will partner to set up a booth at
the USA Science and Engineering Expo, to be held April 28th & 29th
at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington D.C.
This Expo is
the nation’s largest celebration of all things science and engineering and
features over 1500 hands-on activities and over 75 performances. You can learn more about the upcoming activities on their blog.
UF Astronomy and Engineering sponsored a booth during the October 2010 edition of the Expo, which was held on the National Mall in Washington, DC. The booth was a spectacular success attracting over 7,000 people during the two days of the 2010 Expo.
Don't miss the largest celebration of science in the US!
