Subject: Scavenger Hunt for Research - Prizes Description: All UMD students are eligible to participate in a scavenger hunt run by a research team at START this Friday (11:30-3:30). Prizes include iPads and Kindles Every day, we are surrounded by non-threatening levels of natural radiation. This radiation comes from common household items like water softener, kitty litter, and building materials such as marble and granite. These radiation sources are not harmful, but they are interesting. We are inviting you to participate in a game that will map these non-harmful levels of radiation with small, portable radiation detectors that can be carried on your person. By agreeing to participate in this game you will contribute to a larger body of knowledge that will help us better understand the world around us, and how to identify sources of radiation in general. We have organized an on-campus scavenger hunt-type game where you will be asked to explore different locations, both inside and outside, while solving clues that will help you advance in the game. The most successful participants will win prizes like iPads or gift cards! If you are a student at the University of Maryland, and can spend 3-4 hours moving about campus at a walking pace, and are willing to help us better understand radiation in our daily lives, then we want you to participate!
