Saturday Physics Honors Program
The Saturday Physics Honors Program (SPHP) is a series of lectures on modern aspects of the physical sciences held Saturday mornings each fall. The program began in 1993 and offers high school students the opportunity to hear presentations from world-class scientists and researchers. By attending the Saturday Physics Honors Program, you will learn about recent advances in the physical sciences, you will gain an understanding of how physics affects development in modern technology, and influences your life on a daily basis. A question and answer session is held at the end of each program. This is your chance to interact with renowned scientific leaders in the research community.
Saturday Physics Honors Program, an outreach program for high school
students, is also open to the general public.
The lectures are free of charge and are scheduled from 10:15 a.m. to
11:30 a.m., unless indicated otherwise.
