NC Physics Organization
A free online physics olympiad and in-person camps, run by physics researchers and USA Physics Olympiad medalists at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics.
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.
