Deep Talks: Exploring the unseen

Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center

Over the past year, Sanford Underground Research Facility’s (Sanford Lab) Education and Outreach team, with the help of six South Dakota teachers, developed curriculum units for use in schools across the state—two each for grades 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12. The units focus on the intricate science taking place nearly a mile underground at Sanford Lab.

Join E&O Director June Apaza and other members of the E&O team for an interactive experience relating to dark matter and the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment at Sanford Lab’s next Deep Talk presentation, “Exploring the unseen.” 

The event begins at 5 p.m. with a social; the talk begins at 6 p.m. Light refreshments sponsored by First National Bank will be served; guests aged 21 and older may sample craft brews from Crow Peak Brewery. It is free to the public, although donations to support education events at the Visitor Center are welcome.
