Outreach Activities

Members of the High-Energy Theory group at MSU engage in a variety of engagement and public outreach activities throughout the year in the East Lansing area. We are also involved with events coordinated by national laboratories and professional organizations or held in conjunction with physics conferences worldwide.

Faculty working with Undergraduates

HET faculty members collaborate with undergraduate students each year to create educational materials, test them at outreach events in the East Lansing area, and revise them based on experience. The materials presented on the QUEST website have resulted from these collaborations.
