We welcome you, high school students and teachers!
The Physics Olympics High School competition is one of the largest physics events in Canada.
This annual competition, hosted by the Department of Physics & Astronomy Outreach and the UBC Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy, invites hundreds of high school students and their teachers from across British Columbia to compete in six physics & astronomy events. The high school team with the highest overall score receives a trophy for their school, as well as other awards. Up to five students from a team can participate in any given event, and different students from a team can participate in different events. As such, teams may have between 1 and 30 students.
Events include: two pre-build projects, two labs, one Fermi questions event and Quizzics!: a game-show style physics question event.
