The Junior Physics Odyssey (JPhO) is a 4-day (non-residential) program held at UQ St Lucia campus for Year 10 students with an interest in physics, science and mathematics.
The program aims to develop your problem-solving skills as well as an appreciation and understanding of physics.
By presenting physics in a format that complements Senior Physics, JPhO will:
- introduce you to the formal study of physics through lectures and tutorials
- give you hands-on experience of physics through experiments and workshops
- provide you with spaces in which to explore ideas in modern physics at forums and tours of research labs.
