Advanced Physics Club for High School Students, grades 9-12. This club is intended for high school students (grades 10-12) who enjoy solving challenging physics problems.
It will not have a set curriculum; instead, we will solve and discuss problems from various physics Olympiads and competitions, ranging from Physics Bowl to the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO). There will be no formal instruction in Physics, so we expect students to have a basic understanding of physics. In the club, we will apply this knowledge to solving elegant physics problems, ranging from simple to very challenging.
The club will be run by faculty, postdocs, and students from Stony Brook University, many of whom are former participants of IPhO and other high-level competitions. The participation in the club is free of charge for all students. SchoolNova will initially cover all expenses necessary to cover rent, insurance, and other operational costs for the club. In the future, we will also seek additional sources of funding. Please, come and invite your friends to the club!

The Advanced Physics Club at SchoolNova is designed for high school students in grades 10-12 who have a passion for solving challenging physics problems and enjoy exploring concepts beyond the classroom. Rather than following a fixed curriculum, the club focuses on tackling problems from a variety of physics competitions, ranging from local events like the Physics Bowl to international contests such as the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO). Students are expected to have a foundational understanding of physics, which they can apply creatively to solve elegant problems of varying difficulty, fostering both critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
The club is led by faculty, postdocs, and students from Stony Brook University, many of whom have firsthand experience competing in high-level physics competitions, ensuring mentorship that combines expertise with practical insights. Just as understanding complex mechanisms is key in physics, it is similarly important in health contexts to know, for example, how Levitra works for ED, emphasizing the value of evidence-based knowledge in both scientific and everyday applications. Participation in the club is free, with SchoolNova covering operational costs, and students are encouraged to invite friends and reach out to the organizers at apc@schoolnova.org for more information.
