NMSU throws a Big Bang Bash

Posted

New Mexico State University’s College of Arts and Sciences will host a public event for the entire family in April.

“The Big Bang Bash: Where Arts and Sciences Collide,” will include demonstrations of science, art and interactive fun along with food trucks and more from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 3 at NMSU’s Kent Hall, 1280 E. University Ave. 

The “Big Bang Bash” fundraiser to support NMSU’s Discovery Scholars will have hands-on activities from arts to astronomy. A mobile planetarium will offer guests an immersive experience exploring the stars, planets and galaxies. Several departments will host interactive quizzes to challenge visitors’ knowledge of science, art and the natural world.

A scavenger hunt will give participants the chance to explore Kent Hall and other campus areas and receive a special reward for their efforts. To keep everyone fueled for fun, local food trucks will be on-site, offering a variety of food and refreshments for purchase.  
NMSU’s University Museum and University Art Museum also will be open for guests to enjoy a range of exhibits that combine artistic expression and scientific discovery. 

The “Big Bang Bash” is a fundraiser to support NMSU’s Discovery Scholars Program, with all proceeds from ticket sales going directly to the scholarships that help students pursue research and academic projects. Discovery Scholars offers a unique opportunity for undergraduates to work closely with mentors on projects that expand their academic and professional horizons. 

Tickets are $10 for adults, while their children 12 and under get free admission. To purchase tickets and register for the event, visit https://alwaysanaggie.org/donate/big-bang-bash
