Physicists To-Go
Share the wonders of physics
Physicists To-Go introduces students, from kindergarten through college undergraduates, to the many opportunities they can explore through physics.
Physicists To-Go matches your classroom with a scientist who will make a live, virtual visit to your classroom to share their curiosity about the natural world and their passion for science. Matches are based on your class's level, interests, and other classroom needs.
Applications to request a visit open every fall. Sign up to learn more and
