August Mindburst : Let's Get Physic-Al

For most of us, Physics seems to be one of the hardest subjects in school. Many students thought that it is all about long and complicated computations.  I remember when I was studying, my heart was always pounding whenever my teacher or professor asked me to solve a problem during our recitation. But the joy I felt is priceless and incomparable whenever I understand and solve problem correctly (it only happened a few times though, haha!). This month of August, The Mind Museum will take you to an experience of understanding Physics in more understandable and fun way as Mindburst presents "Let's get Physic-al, Physics for All". In this event you will learn the practical use and importance of understanding Physics in our everyday life.
