What is EYU?

Exploring Your Universe (EYU) is a free science fair that draws in thousands of children, parents, and friends from the Los Angeles community to our campus every first Sunday in November. Organized by UCLA graduate students and run by volunteers, this event has been a tradition to provide a day of free science education to all. For 14 years, EYU has provided fun, hands-on experiments and presentations to curious minds and young future scientists alike.

EYU 2022 was finally in person again, since 2019! The event is now over but you can still access our past videos on Youtube list!

During the event, Carolina is one of the speakers in Q&A session.

EYU & KGB Lab

The KGB Lab held the booth Sweet and Cool Lab Blobs, with the topic Why Hawaii is a volcano? How Alaskan volcanos differ?

Joseph presented the mantle plume beneath Hawaii with lab experiments, while Matthew showed his cool 3-D printed slab and plate reconstruction animation to explain the Alaskan volcanoes.

Xiyuan led the booth while Gan, Xuesong and our undergrads Emily and Alannah also helped as volunteers.
