Home   |   Programs   |   Physics for All

From searching for a hidden treasure with Albert Einstein to following the timeline of twentieth century physics discoveries, the American Physical Society’s Physics for All programs aim to capture the imaginations of people of all ages with the wonders of physics and its importance in our everyday lives. Physics is all around us, and its greatest discoveries start with curiosity and determination. Whether you’re aged 5 or 100, we want to show you the excitement of physics.
