Shows at 11:30 a.m., 12:30, 2:00, and 3:00 p.m. in ETC 1.202.
Curie Me Away!
A radioactive musical based on the science, life, and legacy of Madame Marie Curie, a pioneer in the field of physical chemistry. From growing up in occupied Poland, where higher education of women was forbidden by law, to becoming the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, her life story is one laced with tragedy but ultimately a triumph over seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The Curie Me Away closing show begins at 4:00 p.m. at the Hogg Memorial Auditorium.
Science in the Movies
Stunt Ranch has been graciously offering an action-packed science closing to Girl Day since 2010! Science in the Movies is a live presentation that reveals the exciting ways science is used to create movie stunts and special effects. During a thrilling one hour assembly, Steve Wolf's team performs six stunts and effects that teach over 100 essential science and safety concepts. The Science in the Movies closing show begins at 4 p.m. on the EER Ground Floor Stage.
