Physics Camp Outreach
We are back in 2025! After three successful summer programs in 2022-2024 (20+ students from 12 high schools participated each year and gave overwhelmingly positive feedback), we will run the program again in 2025. In a series of lectures on quantum physics, Oakland University Professor Evgeniy Khain will discuss revolutionary ideas in physics that were developed in the beginning of the 20th century. We will focus on the Nobel Prize-winning research of five scientists, including the work of Einstein, Rutherford, and Bohr. How do objects absorb and emit light, and what are the mysteries of the structure of the atom? These intriguing questions will be answered both theoretically and in lab demonstrations. Additionally, OU physics faculty will present their scientific research and discuss possible research opportunities for high school students in the coming academic year.
- Dates and time: weekdays 1 pm – 4 pm, June 23 – July 3, 2025.
- $200 registration fee. Need-based scholarships are available.
- Open to rising juniors, rising seniors and graduating seniors who received an A or B in AP Calculus or in an equivalent IB math class. Knowledge of AP Physics is a plus.
