What happens during radiation therapy? How is invisible radiation made visible? Who has the most stamina?

Using a cloud chamber experiment and our state-of-the-art linear accelerator (max. accelerating voltage 15,000 kV), we’re tracking down the rays!

In the breath-holding contest, interested children and adults can test their ability to reach and maintain a breathing position on the CT treatment table with real-time feedback.

Visitors of all ages can join us this evening to make mini radiation masks out of malleable material and then decorate them! There are no limits to your creativity! 

Throughout the evening, guests can learn about patient positioning and radiation therapy using the phantom on the linear accelerator, as well as take a behind-the-scenes look at radiation therapy and its equipment!
