Physics Outreach

  • TheoryNet

    • TheoryNet is an NSF funded outreach program at Northeastern in which Theory Physicists come into local school classrooms, intereact with students answer their questions and encourage interest in science. More information about the program can be found here: theorynet program

  • Physics Courses for Teachers

    • The Center for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) offers 2 Physics courses to in-service and pre-service science teachers for professional development of grade 6-12 science teachers. Additional information, including course description, is available at stem outreach or http://www.stem.neu.edu/.

  • Research Experiences for Teachers at Northeastern (RET)

    • Northeastern offers a 6-week summer research experience funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) for middle and high school science and math teachers. Visit http://www.ret.neu.edu/overview.html to learn more about the program.

  • QuarkNet Masterclass 2008

    • On March 15, 2008, local high school students and teachers participated in the 2008 QuarkNet Masterclass at Northeastern. As part of a program run by the outreach groups of 18 different high energy experiments, high school students and teachers had the opportunity to analyze simulated data. The class was held at the Physics Department at Northeastern University under the guidance of Professor George Alverson. This year's program concentrated on data expected to resemble data scheduled to arrive later this year from the Large Hadron Collider facility located near Geneva, Switzerland. Visit http://cosm.hamptonu.edu/vlhc/doku.php?id=wiki:start:wkshp:mcwg for summaries on recently held QuarkNet Masterclasses. Images from this year's QuarkNet at Northeastern can be viewed at: http://www.physics.neu.edu/quarknet/quarknet_2008.php.

  • Mentor Program

    • Under Professor Latika Menon, high school student David Yin of Singapore, was awarded on of the top ten commendations for research this summer by the Research Science Institute (RSI). The Research Science Institute Program is a program in which students are paired with research mentors. Students complete the program by submitting a summary of their research and providing a 10-minute oral presentation.
