Summer Program for Talented and Gifted Students



Advanced Physics Experiments

The Math & Science Learning Center (MSLC) is pleased to announce a Summer Program for academically talented and motivated high-school students. The program will involve conducting Classical Physics Experiments that were carried out by the great founders of physics such as Archimedes, Kepler, Newton, Hook, Pascal and Huygens.

The Summer Program at MSLC will provide an opportunity for the students to enrich and accelerate their academic pursuits and to share this experience with others who have similar interests and abilities.
