The Haunted Lab is a magical experience for visitors of all ages. Confront fantastic phenomena in a Halloween setting. Experience electrical and optical wizardry, enjoy a laser light show, bring a “dead bat” back to life, and if you are brave, enter the chamber of the body-less physics dept. head! It lives in a box! It talks! It's alive!!
Off-campus visitors can use the parking lot between Burt and Cuming Streets. Enter the lot at the 25th Ave traffic light on Cuming. The gate is open after 4:30 PM. Walk across Burt, take the steps up to and enter the Hixson-Lied Science Building. Signs inside will lead you to the connected Rigge Science Building and the Haunted Physics Lab.
The Society of Physics Students at Creighton University is excited to invite you and your students to Creighton’s annual High School Physics Field Day! Field Day is a friendly competition and learning experience for local high schools. We will be hosting this year's Field Day on Saturday, April 6th and hope that you can join us!
Generally, schools send team(s) of about 4-5 students and a teacher to compete in a variety of events. Previous years’ events included a quiz bowl, building a catapult, laser aiming, dropping an egg multiple stories, and many others. This year’s theme is Forms of Energy and will have new, fun events! Details with the exact events will be released soon.
Registration is $15 per team, plus $3 per student, which includes both breakfast and lunch for students and faculty. Please RSVP using this form:

Schools may bring more than one team. Field Day will begin at 8 am and end by about 3 pm. Additionally, a continental breakfast will be served starting at 7 am. If you have any questions please let me know!
Thank you,
Sam Ruiz (SPS president)
