Our Crowdfunding Groups
The Physics and Astronomy Club is a registered student organization dedicated to creating a welcoming and enriching community for all students at WSU. As a club, we host events for the people of the greater Pullman area who want to learn more about physics and the world around us. Through our annual pumpkin and egg drops, observatory nights, and Kid Science and Engineering Day (KSED), we aim to inspire and engage everyone in a subject we are very passionate about. At our weekly club meetings, we get to hear from professors, engage in physics-based craft projects, and other activities to help foster a greater sense of community in a major that can often times feel isolating.
With this project, we hope to fund a trip for around 21 students to tour the LIGO/Hanford observatory in Livingston, WA. We were invited to tour while hosting the Conference for Undergraduate Women and Gender Minorities in Physics (CU*iP) and are excited for the opportunity to visit a site at the cutting edge of physics research.
Through this fundraiser, we seek $1200 to provide transportation to and from the observatory as well as hotel rooms for one night. Money raised beyond our goal can be used to provide more hotel rooms or meals for those who need them. Additionally, donations may go towards the purchase of materials for our annual egg and pumpkin drops, other science outreach projects we host throughout the year, and continued club activities. Thank you for your consideration :)
