Make waves, explore magnetism, and try your hand at strobe photography. Participants will learn how photography can be used to capture images of events that our eyes cannot normally see. Design and capture images of your own physics experiments inspired by historical MIT photographs from Bernice Abbott and Harold “Doc” Edgerton.
