Society of Physics Students Congress 2022 Workshop
Iron Chef Science
Science is something that anyone can cook-up!
Science is something anyone can do, with anything, anytime. One of the missions of Little Shop of Physics is teach science through hands-on exploration. Data shows that experiencing science through hands-on learning is more effective and reaches a larger audience. This workshop will give you a taste of the Little Shop way.
