Did you hear that? Yup, it’s time for the annual SPS Pi Day celebration, Pi a Physicist! Our lineup this year were SPS volunteers and officers (voluntold), and our victims eager physicists patiently staked out a post outside Howey, waiting for their inevitable creamy (and one eggy…) fates. Friends, physics …
Prepare for the most ambitious (and unplanned) SPS crossover yet: Excellent Adventures and Physics Field Day (PFD)! Excellent Adventures kicked off the evening with a productive study session in our pajamas, complete with pizza and energy drinks. After members finished their work for the night, they headed over to Rocky’s …
SPS hosted its annual waffle party open to the School of Physics (and those unaffiliated with it). Due to popular demand last year, our officers upped the supply this year to feed more people and include toppings like blueberries, whipped cream, and chocolate chips! We even crashed a lecture (with …
GT SPS partnered with Emory SPS to host a Super Smash Bros tournament, which was a smashing success! Teams of two paired up and entered the championship bracket, and only one emerged each round. The semifinals happened to feature a team of GT students and a team of Emory students, …
Our annual pumpkin drop was a splattering success! This year’s fillings included fake blood, lavender oobleck, and even Real Analysis homework (it’s getting real). We finished with an awesome physics demo by Professor Fenton and Professor Greco: prepared with huge springs stretched by gravity, they dropped them without any applied …
The Excellent Adventures committee, which coordinates various research events, held their first event, a “How to Get Involved in Research” presentation! Upperclassmen with prior research experience representing fields from biophysics to quantum optics gave a plethora of valuable advice.
SPS had the pleasure to meet Dr. Christopher Foy, an alumni of Georgia Tech and one of the founders of our SPS chapter! Over a delicious meal of Wingnuts, Dr. Foy talked to our students about his undergrad experiences, life after Tech, and his current work (incredibly rad things at …
Armed with ingredients like half-and-half, sugar, liquid nitrogen, and coconut milk (for those with dairy restrictions!), SPS made ice cream from scratch for the School of Physics. Faculty and students had the choice of vanilla, strawberry (with real fruit), or coconut, and toppings like pineapple, chocolate chip, and syrup. Thanks …
Did someone say Nitro-tastic? Our Ice Cream Social was awesome! We had a great turnout to try our legen-dairy liquid nitrogen ice cream! We got to meet new students and promote SPS in the Howey Courtyard. Shoutout to Dr. Mourigal! We couldn’t have done this without you!
This fall, we got to meet the new physics students during the School of Physics Undergrad Mixer. With the SPS officers, SoP professors, and wonderful new students, this event was a blast! Plus, new students got official School of Physics T-shirts and delicious pizza!
