Outreach
From 4 January there was action aplenty around Physics North as the Australian Science Olympiad program started. The students, mainly from Year 10, complete the equivalent of a 6 point unit in three weeks as they compete for a place in the International Olympiad team that represents Australia. In 2015 the team travelled to India. ANU is a major sponsor of the organisation and the Chemistry Olympiad students were here as well. |
