Science Teachers and Career Practitioners! Come join us and discover why physics matters for every student—not just future scientists.
About this Event

Every physio exercise, climate model, smartphone, and risk assessment relies on physics principles.
A fundamental understanding of physics equips students with powerful analytical and problem-solving skills that are valued far beyond science.

This day invites Science Teachers and Career Practitioners to

  • Explore why physics is essential for a wide range of unexpected careers
  • Gain concrete examples you can share with students and parents
  • Rethink physics as a versatile foundation rather than a niche subject
  • Hear from Alumni how physics has helped them in their (non-physics) career
