The camp offers a free, immersive, and hands-on physics experience specifically designed to encourage young women in STEM, led by university faculty and students.
The UT Dallas Women in Physics Camp is a five-day annual summer program designed for middle and early high school students, with a target population of girls to address underrepresentation in physics. Participants engage in hands-on projects and interactive experiments to explore various physics concepts. Activities include building and launching bottle rockets and paper hot air balloons, soldering light-up circuit bracelets, constructing solar boxes, and designing edible racing cars to study mechanics. The camp emphasizes creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork, providing opportunities for students to collect and analyze data. Instructors include UT Dallas faculty and students from the Women in Physics, Science and Math Education Department/UTeach Dallas program, and the Physics Department, ensuring a low instructor-to-student ratio for personalized attention. The camp aims to inspire students to consider STEM fields and gain scientific literacy.
Campers participate in hands-on projects and interactive experiments from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., exploring physics concepts in small teams under the guidance of UTD STEM students and volunteer teachers.
This camp is ideal for middle and early high school students, particularly girls, who are interested in exploring physics and STEM fields through engaging, hands-on activities and collaborative projects.
