Imperial Festival Day 2

The Imperial Festival has come to a close but day 2 was jam-packed with science! Today Team Laser consisted of myself, Jake Bulmer, a second year (Physics) Undergraduate at Imperial College and the fantastic, Radhwan Alnaimi, a Research Associate of the Plasma Physics Department at Imperial College.

Day 2 was even busier than day 1 and I think about 200 balloons were popped with the laser! It was great to spread science knowledge to all ages and hopefully get people excited about science and maybe, if I was lucky enough, to convince them to take science further in their career/education path.

Here are some highlights of the second day of the Imperial Festival:
