The Physics Show -- A community college delivers BIG on community outreach

Founded in 2007, the Foothill College Physics Show has served nearly a quarter of a million attendees in the two decades that have followed. This demo show features both performances for the public and field trips for students from local Title 1 schools. The college’s students play an important role, acting as both on-stage talent, leading tours of the college, and helping build equipment. From a small beginning, it now hosts over twenty-five thousand attendees a year, and is an important part of the college’s outreach efforts.
