Hands-on Physics Workshop at Lawrence University
The Lawrence University physics program is nationally recognized as one of the best small college physics programs in the country. The Physics Workshop is a great way for students to get a taste of what it's like to study physics at Lawrence. At the workshop, students will:
- build a laser, make holograms and erase a photon's memory;
- hear from current students about independent study projects, building a microscope from 3D-printed parts, finding exoplanets using data from the TESS satellite, and building a magnetic levitation system to study antimatter;
- learn about summer research experiences available to Lawrence students.
To be eligible for the workshop, students first need to fill out an interest form. Next, they'll need to complete an application for admission to Lawrence by January 15. If they are selected for the program, the university will be back in touch later in January with more information.
