The Physics Factory

The Physics Factory is a team of scientists and educators with a common goal: to share their enthusiasm for physics with students, teachers and the community. Through a combination of hands-on learning and eye-popping stage shows, The Physics Factory aims to show that physics is an exciting process of discovery and invention, and a rewarding career.

With gigs at Boys & Girls Clubs and Science Centers all over the west, OUR 2008 INTERNATIONAL TOUR WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!!! Visit our trip page.
