Fermilab



We have been studying atoms and radioactivity for science as part of Tate’s science fair project this year (more on that later!).  We got to attend an Ask-a-Scientist and tour of Fermilab’s National Accelerator Facility.  T-O-T-A-L-L-Y amazing.  I cannot even say how cool it was.  We got to attend a lecture by a scientist about how computer data is harvested and stored.  Then to see the accelerator and what they can do with particle energy blew my mind.  Oh, and I think the kids enjoyed it, too!  They had refreshments at the end.  They had Garett at “Oreo”!
