You enjoy watching Jeopardy. You're good at Trivial Pursuit. The Caltech Quiz Bowl team meets every week to have fun outmatching one another on questions about history, science, literature, art, sports, geography, etc. About eight times a year they send teams to compete against other schools. This year Caltech ranked twelfth in the nation at their first national tournament-and they hope for an even better finish next year.
New players are always welcome.
They also invite science fiction authors to speak on campus, show fantasy and science fiction movies, sponsor trips to science fiction conventions, bookstores, and first-run movies, and go to the Mojave Desert for stargazing. A wood- and metalworking machine shop open to all members of the Caltech and JPL community. The shop, which has existed in one form or another throughout much of Caltech's history, is maintained by a volunteer committee and through the charitable efforts of its members. The shop is open to members 24 hours a day all year. The shop is located near Physical Plant, behind the liquid nitrogen tank.
