Outreach
The 2nd Institute of Physics together with the 3rd and 1st Institute of Physics organizes the annual “Physikjahrmarkt” and a high voltage show being part of the RWTH science night “5 vor 12”, which is visited by more than 6000 people. The “Jahrmarkt” shows several tens of experiments typically shown during the lectures, but here with the possibility that the visitors can take part in the experiments. In addition the institute is involved in “Unihits für Kids”, a program especially for pupils of school classes 5 or 6. New physical phenomena can be explored, for example experiments with liquid nitrogen and levitating superconductors.
