The event was held as part of Science Chicago, a yearlong series of science activities involving about 120 Chicago-area institutions and billed as "the world's largest science celebration." Zasadzinski talked about – and demonstrated -- the unique phenomenon of superconductivity, with the demonstrations involving "permanent" magnets, liquid nitrogen, and "levitating" magnets being especially popular with the kids in the audience.
The final BCPS-hosted event, "Weird (Electronic) Science," is December 12 at 3:30 pm., 111 Life Sciences. Please RSVP to 312.567.3132 or cronin@iit.edu.
