The University of Idaho’s College of Science is hosting a two-day science event, known as Vandal Science Days, starting today. This hands-on event is open to the public of all ages and offers a variety of activities for attendees to engage in.
Vandal Science Days provides participants with the chance to listen to presentations from professors on topics such as the usage of arsenic in beauty products and learn about the science programs available at U of I. Additionally, attendees can participate in hands-on science activities like fossil digs, comet making, and virtual realities for sustainable futures, among others.
Cindy Barnhart from the College of Science’s Communication and Marketing department stated that this event also coincides with the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival. This allows attendees to explore how science and music can complement each other. Moreover, prospective U of I science students have the opportunity to win a $500 college of science scholarship at Vandal Science Days.
