On July 28 and 29, WIPAC will host a series of activities as part of Grandparents University, a summer educational program that brings children ages 7 to 14 along with their grandparents to the UW–Madison campus for a series of courses and field trips. “South Pole Science” will be presented to engage participants in learning about IceCube, neutrinos, and working at the South Pole.
