PAN-CAKE masterclass for educators 2022 (Opens in a new window)
PAN-CAKE is a free online masterclass for teachers scheduled on Saturday July 16th, 2022. Science teachers (from pre-service to veterans) in the US and Canada will learn about world-class scientific research in nuclear astrophysics at MSU’s Facility for Rare Isotope Beams. This is an opportunity to meet scientists and other educators, take a “virtual tour” of a leading rare isotope laboratory, collect tools and demos for your curriculum, and discover the future of research.

Art 2 Science at home for families - Toys from home chemicals (Opens in a new window)
Start time: 10 am
Live stream details coming soon
In this activity, we'll combine 4 common ingredients in 3 different ways to make things to play with. Then we'll explore experiments that could help us make our new toys even more stretchy or bouncy.
You will need:
- Water
- Cornstarch
- Glue
- Borax
- Something to mix in (cup, bowl, baggie)
- Something to stir with (spoon, stick, hand)
CANCELLED: Take Your Child To Work Day (Opens in a new window)
Each year units, departments and colleges across MSU’s campus participate in the Take Your Child to Work Day event. JINA will offer a short lesson about rare isotopes!
CANCELLED: The building blocks of matter: atoms or LEGOs? (Opens in a new window)
The periodic table organizes atoms into different elements, but the chart of nuclides is a better way to classify them. Discover the secrets of the nucleus by building a chart from towers of LEGO bricks, one for each of 130 isotopes in the first ten elements. The pattern of stable and radioactive nuclei will help explain the how the matter in your body was originally made in stars! Hosted by the Michigan History Museum and sponsored by the MSU Science Festival.
CANCELLED: MSU Science Festival Expo (Opens in a new window)
The 8th annual MSU Science Festival will take place April 1-30, 2020. Presenters are getting ready to dazzle, delight, educate, and inform, reaching beyond science to include technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) and the important role they play shaping our future and everyday lives. The April 4 expo will feature dozens of booths, and JINA will be on hand to demonstrate nuclear astrophysics with hands-on activities!
CANCELLED: Of Equal Place: Isotopes in Motion (Opens in a new window)
Of Equal Place: Isotopes in Motion will present an exhilarating performance that combines dance, video, and physics while featuring professional dancers and guest performances by local youth. The show highlights the wonders of science and illuminates the research at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) and was inspired by Dance Exchange’s critically acclaimed work The Matter of Origins. Following the performance, audience members are invited to participate in a series of activities which explore dance, physics, and FRIB.
Hard Realities You'll Face in the Industry and the Strategies You Need to Deal with Them (Opens in a new window)
In this talk, “Leadership in an Engineering Environment”, Trudy Kortes, a 30 year NASA veteran and STEM speaker and consultant, will describe the typical characteristics of an industrial engineering organization, the typical characteristics of engineers, and typical situations you might find yourself in within an engineering organization. She will discuss the hard realities you will face as well as manifestations of each of these topics, and the you will learn strategies, approaches, and coping mechanisms to successfully maneuver yourself through your career.
