The ARO, the External Relations Committee (ERC), and spARO are proud to collaborate on a public outreach event at The Tech Interactive museum, San Jose, CA. This is a "reverse" science fair, where the public judges the scientists' demos.

We are soliciting projects from spARO members on the broad theme of Science of Hearing and Balance. Get ideas at: https://sites.google.com/umich.edu/aro2020sciencefair/home.

Event Timing: Saturday, Jan 25, 2020, 3 - 5 pm
Event location: The Tech Interactive, San Jose, CA (a 5 min walk from the Convention Center)
