Field Day 2009

This spring, the Creighton University Society of Physics Students (CUSPS) will again sponsor Physics Field Day, a day of activities and excitement for high school students. The theme of the 2009 Physics Field Day is “Space Physics as Portrayed in Film.“  The rulebook can be found here.

The day is filled with competitions that require understanding and application of basic physical principles. We in the CUSPS believe that physics can be enjoyed in a hands-on, competitive spirit. There is an event for everyone!

It is our hope that the diversity of the Physics Field Day events will encourage many students to participate and challenge themselves.
