At the start of the Autumn semester, we
were invited to appear in a national TV morning show, where we had the
opportunity to talk about what we do in our monthly sessions. Even before that
we had set a new record for attendance with more than 350 students coming to
session in September. With every month the amount of ambitious high schoolers
and middle schoolers, that we had the chance to educate about numerous concepts
in physics, has grown. In September when the topic for the session was nuclear
physics, we decided to do something new, since it is hard to touch single
atoms. Thus we created a debating competition, where the students could compete
in debates on whether nuclear power should or should not be used in our own
country. The pro and against argument was assigned randomly. This was
surprisingly well received among the students and can be called a definite
success.
Our team is happy that the number of
students coming in search of knowledge outside of the school program is
increasing with hopes that it will increase further.
