Description

Working with talented students so that they develop their full potential is a challenging task for the standard school education. This is a task for non-formal education. Physics Correspondence Seminar (FKS) is a student organization based at Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics, Comenius University in Bratislava. For the past 40 years, it has been working with talented students, organizing competitions, events and other different activities for students interested in physics. It has a unique system in which former participants later become organizers during their university studies. We would like to share our experience we have acquired throughout the years.
