Outreach description:
The Halloween Spooky Demo Show is an annual public event designed to engage families in the New Haven community with science. Held in the decorated "haunted" hallways of Sloane Physics Laboratory, the event features interactive physics demonstrations presented by undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and staff. The evening concludes with a one-hour demonstration show featuring a variety of physics experiments, including spooky-themed phenomena like levitation, electricity, gigantic pendulums, (safe) explosions, extreme cold, mysterious sounds, and other feats of scientific bravery. Since its inception in 2023, the event has grown to attract over 400 attendees.
