Mount Holyoke College Society of Physics Students Outreach Program

Mission Statement

The Mount Holyoke College Society of Physics Students Outreach Program is designed to couple the resources of a strong physics department and the enthusiasm of Mount Holyoke students with the experience of local teachers in order to create, implement, and preserve an exciting physics curriculum for lower and middle school students. The hope of the program is that by having the students directly engaged in designing, studying, and even playing with scientific equipment, they will not only discover the sense of accomplishment that comes with scientific exploration, but also the fun of it as well.
