The main goal of the project was to raise public awareness to the everyday influence of physics in our life. Physics themed presentations were held in the whole country organised by the Hungarian EPS member ELFT, and we took our part in the project by organising the main flagship event at the Eötvös University. This was an open and free event for any curious persons, but our main focus was on families, teenagers and younger children. There were three 60 minute long easily understandable and entertaining scientific lectures. The lectures were presented by renewed scientists and students alike, with topics from the most novel and interesting research areas. During the whole afternoon and evening (for seven hours) there were four thematic demonstration stands with over a 100 different experiments (the four themes were: thermodynamics, electromagnetism, mechanics and fluid dynamics). The participants were also able to try out most of the non-dangerous experiments themselves. There were at least two presenters at each table, who were mostly physics students, and there will were additional organisers who have shown modern physics simulations and optical experiments at the lecture hall to small sized groups.There there was also an hourly rocket and explosion experiment in the open, and one of our guests lifted a car with PET bottles. We and the ELFT are happy to have organised this event a second time, and we hope to grow this national event to an international celebration for physics in the following years.
