Events with Partners

In addition to KIPAC-hosted events and offerings, KIPAC members are also active contributors to the following programs organized by our valuable partners:

SLAC Public Lectures

Ever wonder what goes on at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory? The SLAC Public Lecture Series is your chance to find out! The evening lectures highlight the cutting-edge science happening at the laboratory. Including the latest discoveries from KIPAC and from across the lab, SLAC public lectures provide non-scientists with a unique insight into the workings of our universe.

SLAC Tours

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory offers free tours for the public and for school groups. In-person tours last approximately 90 minutes, and often include the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) camera and the KIPAC visualization lab with 3D movies of the cosmos. Due to COVID-19, the tours have been offered virtually. You can join a guided or self-guided virtual tour.

Bay Area Science Festival

KIPAC regularly participates in the Bay Area Science Festival (BASF), an annual celebration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The Festival features hundreds of hands-on activities, provocative conversations, and tours of facilities, all designed to connect you with the Bay's scientists and engineers. KIPAC participated in the After Dark program at the Exploratorium as part of the BASF in 2022!

SAGE-S

SAGE-S (Science Accelerating Girls' Engagement in STEM) is a one week long on-campus residential summer camp for public high school students (age 14-17) held at SLAC.  It is hosted by scientists and engineers from KIPAC and across the lab who share what everyday life is like in the STEM profession.
