“Physics Express is a project that is gathering student of physics with a common goal to promote physics and popularize science in general. The basic idea is to visit elementary and high schools showing students everyday physics phenomena in interactive way so they can really feel it as it is happening in nature. My motivation for this project comes for the fact that school curriculum around here are but also from perceiving low interest in physics and science in general. With the Physics Express we also want to visit schools in rural areas, as in a way to enable every school kid to have the equal opportunities to learn. Many schools do not have any equipment to support experimental teaching, which I personally believe presents a big gap for progress. So of personal importance to me is to promote science and critical opinion in general, but in the first place I’m trying to give everyone a quality education to spark the joy of learning, which I think is the best life investment.”
