Can you tell a tall tale from the truth? Faculty and students at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology will team up for Mines Myth Busters & Super Science to debunk or prove some of history’s most popular urban legends and offer interactive experiments from 6-7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 21.

The Engineers Week event is among a number of activities at SD Mines to celebrate the profession of engineering. Mines Myth Busters will be held at the Surbeck Center ballroom on campus. It is free and open to all ages of the public.

Watch as Mines myth busters experiment with fire, test household items for radioactivity, offer hands-on green chemistry activities, testing whether concrete can really float and more. Find out which myths make the cut and which get busted with Mines’ signature twist of explosive experimentation.
