ÚTFA Fun Day 2025

5:00 PM

This is not a drill. It’s an egg-speriment.
Join us for the first ever UTFA Fun Day — where physics meets metaphor and eggs meet gravity.

When? June 20, 17:00–20:00
Where? Our department courtyard (building 6)
What? BBQ, drinks (yes, the fizzy and the fancy), and refreshingly absurd physics-themed games
Who? Everyone — from fresh-faced first years to full professors
