The Mi Familia Weekend\u00a0is an annual 2-day event that is designed to connect diverse and underrepresented families with their college students and the OSU community. The interactive science and engineering sessions incorporated demonstrations and activities from Physics, Chemistry, Microbiology, Engineering, and more. Dr. KC Walsh\u00a0and Learning Assistants from the introductory physics course brought a host of fun physics toys to engage the young K-12 participants. Demonstrations from the physics group included a magnetic levitation track, hovercraft, Tesla coil, liquid nitrogen freezing, and much more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/spectrometer\/files\/2017\/05\/DSC00106.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-438\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/spectrometer\/files\/2017\/05\/DSC00106.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"297\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2237\/files\/2017\/05\/DSC00106.jpg 4000w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2237\/files\/2017\/05\/DSC00106-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2237\/files\/2017\/05\/DSC00106-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2237\/files\/2017\/05\/DSC00106-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 297px) 100vw, 297px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Physics joined the Mi Familia Weekend for a hands-on showcase of science.
