Physics demos and a solar telescope at Wake Forest's 2026 Major/Minor Fair in Tribble Plaza on October 21. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Physics table! #WFUPhysics

Four people gather around a black telescope on an outdoor picnic table. One looks through the eyepiece while another leans beside the telescope. A bicycle wheel and colorful demonstration materials sit nearby.
