More than 600 high school students and teachers from across B.C. from Campbell River to Vancouver to Okanagan and Invermere will compete in the 41st annual UBC Physics Olympics, where they will show off their physics knowledge and unique creations.
Teams of high school students will compete in six events that test hands-on and scientific concepts. The goal is to help students see how physics is exciting and relevant to our daily lives and to provide students with an opportunity to work together. The UBC Physics Olympics is one of the largest and oldest high school physics competitions of its kind in North America.
The event is organized by students and professors in the department of physics and astronomy and department of curriculum and pedagogy. UBC undergraduate students, many of them former competitors, volunteer their time.
