Project Description: The SPS chapter at the University of Southern Mississippi promotes physics in the community through educational outreach. The primary audience for our outreach activities are mostly students in grades K-12. One of the events at which we do outreach is Hubfest, an event organized by the city of Hattiesburg which draws attendees from all over Mississippi and surrounding states. Through the Marsh W. White award we hope to perform various demonstrations regarding waves, optics, and thermodynamics to the general public.
