Physics Team Training Camp - University of Maryland

These students are training for the mentally grueling exams and lab tests they'll face at the 44th International Physics Olympiad to be held from July 7 – 15, in Copenhagen, where student scholars from more than 90 nations will test their knowledge in physics, competing with the best in the world. Over the past eleven years, every U.S. Physics Team member traveling to the international competition has returned with a medal.  Five members of the 2013 team are returning from last year.
