UBC Physics Circle: Lower Mainland
Are there giant ants in outer space? How is DNA crammed into the cell nucleus? How many Starbucks stores are there in Seattle? Can you extract information from a black hole?
Physics provides a powerful set of tools for understanding the world around us and answering remarkably diverse questions like the ones above. The UBC Physics Circle invites motivated high school students (grades 10–12) to join them to build up a toolkit, and apply it to everything from buying a cup of coffee to the deepest mysteries of the cosmos. The main goal of UBC Physics Circle is to foster curiosity, creativity, and a sense of community.
They are running in-person Physics Circle sessions this academic year! Please note, registration for the 2023-2024 school year is not open yet.
Physics Circle strongly encourages students underrepresented in STEM – girls, Indigenous youth, and those from underprivileged communities – to participate.
Please email physics.circle@phas.ubc.ca if you have any questions!
