Format: 15 minutes Talks from experts in the field + Q&A. University professors & high school teachers
Description: Excitement in Physics is infectious, and it draws people in. For example, Paul Hewitt became known for his passionate and fun way advocating for physics and inspiring many students. Dianna Cowern, an MIT graduate, became a YouTuber known as ‘Physics Girl’. Brian May, the league guitar player for the band Queen and a Ph.D. in Astrophysics, worked in interstellar gases, measured the rate of the rotation of galaxy.
How can we as teachers become passionate and how can we inspire our students?
