Special Event/Tour Detail: Ask-a-Scientist Guided Tour of Fermilab
| Audience: | Public, Teachers, Students, Grades 9 - Adult |
| Description: | Take science questions straight to experts. The first Sunday of each month, physicists answer questions and explain everything from the Big Bang to how a particle accelerator works.
Each three-hour session includes a presentation by a scientist, a tour, and a Q & A period. The docent-led tour includes visiting the 1st floor and the 15th floor of Wilson Hall and the Linac building, which houses the first two accelerators, the neutron therapy area and the Main Control Room. There is no charge for the tour, but advance registration is required. Children age 10 and older are welcome, but an adult must accompany them.
General directions to Fermilab Space is limited. To sign up, either register online from this page, send e-mail to Nancy Lanning (edreg@fnal.gov), or call Nancy Lanning at 630 840-5588. Registration deadline is the Friday before the event, at noon. Please click the pencil icon to register. |
