Children learn by asking questions. To foster their curiosity and enthusiasm, HXGNY will host a series of science seminars for children.
As with all activities in our school, we need support from parents. We need more parents to come here to talk about science and any other interesting subjects with our children. If you are interested, please contact Sarah Zhang < sarah.zhang68@gmail.com> or Linda Wu <wu_lihua@yahoo.com>. Thank you for your support!
Our first education seminar will be presented by Wai Tang regarding the universe:
What is the origin of our universe? Is the Big Bang the answer? What is inflation? Is our universe still expanding? Will it stop expanding and collapse back to a point? What is dark matter? How come we think dark matter exists, even though we have not detected it yet? And how about dark energy? Is it really there? These are some of the interesting questions we would like to explore in our first Universe Seminar specifically designed for our youngsters.
Please click here for the seminar flyer and details for the series.
Lunch: School will order pizza lunch for the parents to purchase.
Registration: Please email hxgnychildren@gmail.com to register. Please state how many slices of pizza you will order.
