Extraordinary science can change the lives of ordinary people. That’s the philosophy at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. Researchers from more than 40 scientific areas work together to ask and answer big questions — about human health and medical imaging, cleaner energy and greener plastics, and even artificial intelligence and insect-inspired robots. This fall, they invite all ages to experience a new event with Beckman Institute.
The Beckman STEM Crawl takes hands-on demos and interactive exhibits to local businesses in downtown Champaign. They invite Champaign-Urbana community members to encounter the science, meet the people and experience the impact of world-changing discovery. End the day at the Virginia Theatre for a screening of the documentary, “Observer.” Find out more about the event and participating campus and community partners on their website.
