Cambridge Physics Centre: Online Lecture Programme 2022/23
Supported by the Cavendish Laboratory, the Institute of Physics and the Department of Engineering.
Aims
This lecture series is open to all, but aimed at those in years 12 and 13. It exists to enthuse, stimulate and challenge students and their teachers across the whole broad spectrum of physics-related topics. It is a live event at the Cavendish Laboratory, directions to the lectures and parking for the evening can be found here.
An interactive Isaac Physics problem solving session starts at 5pm, lectures start at 6pm and finish by 7pm. There is no need to book these lectures, you can just turn up on the day.
