The Go Physics! program at Triumf

Ever wonder what Einstein discovered? What are the greatest mysteries in physics today? Do you have aspirations to become the next Stephen Hawking?

The Go Physics! program is a one-day camp to supercharge your theoretical physics brain: from Einstein's warped space time and the weird quantum world of atoms, to the greatest challenge of all: a unified theory of everything, you will be participating in hands-on labs, "minds-on" challenges, and of course, you will be meeting some new friends.

The event will take place on Friday, May 28, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at TRIUMF, Canada's National Laboratory for Particle and Nuclear Physics. It is sponsored by TRIUMF, as well as BC's Science Fair Foundation.

You must be in grade 11 or 12 physics and have a keen interest and strong ability in both physics and mathematics to apply. Recommendations from your physics teacher (Mr. Hengeveld) is needed in this case. There are only 30 spaces available for this opportunity, so please act fast.

For more information, you can contact Patti Leigh at pleigh@sciencefairfoundationbc.ca for details. You can also ask Mr. Hengeveld for a copy of the information poster.
