MSE Students wow Picnic Day attendees with a spectacular materials show

During this year’s annual UC Davis open house (Picnic Day 2017), MSE students from the Materials Advantage Student Chapter, organized and created a spectacular show on how awesome Materials Science & Engineering is and to inspire a new generation.  The students presented a theatrical show where superheroes, such as Spiderman, Wonder Woman, and even the Green Lantern, required Materials Engineering to recover their superpowers. In one of the show’s highlights, students assisted Spiderman in regaining his ability to swing between skyscrapers by demonstrating a fantastically engineered “spider-web”.  One that can withstand the weight of a person in a millimeter thick line.  More than 1500 people viewed this amazing show. Congratulations to our MASC students on a job well done!
