Intro to Physics + Python Summer Camp 2025
Are you ready for an exciting, challenging, and hands-on summer experience? This two-week full-day camp is designed for incoming 6th graders and above who are eager to explore the fascinating world of physics and programming.
Through interactive labs, real-world applications, and engaging discussions, students will dive into the core principles of mechanics, electricity & magnetism, optics, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics. With a focus on scientific reasoning and critical thinking, this camp will build their foundation in physics and programing in Python.
Whether your child is a budding scientist or simply loves a challenge, this camp will ignite their curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world around them.
Join us for an unforgettable summer of exploration, discovery, and innovation!
Hands-on Lab, Exploration and Discussions !
