We all had a fabulous time at Maryland Day 2023! Thank you so much to all our amazing and dedicated volunteers.

Visitors checking out hands-on demos at Maryland Day LN ice cream team 2023

From Physics is Phun shows to giant smoke cannons to the ever-popular liquid nitrogen ice cream, UMD Physics pulled off a terrific program despite weather and construction.

Congrats to the whole team for a fabulous day! 

See you again next year!
