Colorado State University (CSU) students participated in the "Little Shop of Physics" on 2 March 2025. This open house showcases hands-on experiments and activities to help learners explore science. The CSU students brought a cloud chamber, a few GM detectors and various common radioactive items for demonstrations (Fiesta® ware, smoke detector). The cloud chamber demonstration was a hit! Several people came in specifically to see the uranium rock and the cloud chamber tracks because a friend or colleague recommended it.
