Physics is all around us. From the simple act of kicking a soccer ball to exploring distant planets, physics helps us explain and understand our world. The WIP Physics Camp offers a science packed week, with topics that include mechanics, electromagnetism, rockets, optics, astronomy, engineering, planetary science and more!

​

During camp, students will work together in small teams under the guidance of a UTD STEM student and led by a veteran camper or volunteer teacher (Team Leader) to investigate physics with hands-on projects. During the activities, the students will be given numerous opportunities to use creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork as they explore the wonderful world of physics. Teams will engage in friendly competition to demonstrate how well they have learned to work together in collecting and analyzing data, an important part of any science or engineering career. 

Throughout the camp, members of the Women in Physics, Science and Math Education Department/UTeach Dallas program, and Physics Department (all faculty and students at UTD) will serve as course instructors. Campers will also be guided by Team Leaders, UTD Alumni that teach at local schools and volunteer their time. A low instructor-to-student ratio ensures personalized attention for each camper.

The camp is completely run by donations and volunteers. If you are interested in donating to the Camp, please click the Sponsor Us button above.
