UWM Science Bag 2012-2013

Making science exciting for 40 years

Friday evenings just got spicier with these interactive performances that connect science with your everyday life. The UWM Science Bag educates as it entertains. Each one-hour show is free and designed for the curious, ages 8 to 108. Topics change monthly and run through April (except in December). Science Bag 2012-2013 Poster (pdf - 450kb)

Shows begin at 8 p.m. every Friday, with a 2 p.m. matinee one Sunday each month. Presentations are held in Room 137 of the Physics Building, corner of E. Kenwood Boulevard and N. Cramer Street.

Supported by the UW-Milwaukee College of Letters and Science, and the Halbert and Alice Kadish Fund in the UWM Foundation.
