Our IMAP team partnered up with the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, NJ to facilitate several IMAP activities and offer science talks by Dr. Jamie Rankin (instrument lead for the IMAP SWAPI instrument) to almost 100 participants on Saturday, 9/6.
Visitors had the opportunity to try search for items with special tools in the iSpy IMAP activity, see the Modeling the Heliosphere water demonstration to better understand the edge of our solar system, create a bracelet during the Coding Curiosities activity and learn more about two phase rockets (like the one that IMAP will travel on for it's launch) with the Achieving Orbit activity.
There was a 3D model of IMAP on display and visitors enjoyed taking home IMAP stickers, handouts about the IMAP mission and the heliosphere.
