NC Physics Organization
NCPhO is run by physics researchers and USA Physics Olympiad medalists at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics who are passionate about increasing engagement in physics.
NC Physics Olympiad
Our online olympiad will run two times a year and anyone can enter. First place wins $100, and three more competitors win $20 each in a random draw.

Physics is more fun in person, so our organization hosts physics camps at rec centers in Charlotte and Wilmington.
Outreach
Thinking in terms of the laws of physics is an amazing skill that should be taught at a young age. Our camps impart these skills in a fun way.
NC Physics Olympiad
The North Carolina Physics Olympiad is a free online contest we run a few times a year, and anyone can sign up. All of physics is fair game, but the problems favor critical thinking, so you can win even if you haven't taken every course yet.
Top score takes it.
Three competitors are drawn at random after the window closes. Answering three questions correctly is the only requirement.
