Espionage in the Dark
Thursday, 18 February; 7 - 9 pm

The cloak of darkness is a spy’s best friend!

By the light of day, spies can be easily exposed and missions go awry. But when the sun sets and shadows emerge, espionage is the name of the game. Explore the tricks of the trade that enable spies to operate under the cover of darkness. From infrared night goggles to ultraviolet-light secret messages, young recruits will try their hand at creating and using tools that will help them spy in the shadows. With scientists from the University of Maryland by their side demonstrating cool technology and materials, mission failure will not be an option. Will KidSpy recruits see their way through? Will darkness help or hurt them? Only those with top secret access to Operation Night Spy will discover the answers to these questions.

Co-sponsored by the University of Maryland Materials Research Science & Engineering Center.
