USC PhLaSH
Physics Labs for Students in High School
USC PhLaSH is a one-week physics-lab program at USC,
designed for students to experience the fun and challenge
of doing science in a university-lab setting.

This program will be offered in Summer 2003 by the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Southern California. Its goal is to support (and raise) the interest of students in science and to form links between the high schools in the LA basin and USC. Between ten and twelve high-school students will work with USC undergraduate physics majors under the supervision of physics faculty. The program is being offered for a nominal tuition ($100 per student). Students must provide their own transportation and proof of health insurance. The program is scheduled for the week of July 7 - 11, 2003. The $100 tuition will cover all costs associated with the program, including lab materials and a daily lunch. Each day students will begin at 10 AM with laboratory experiments, followed by lunch, research-lab tours, and informal discussion and interaction with physics students and faculty. The daily program will end at 4 PM.

If you are curious, take a look at the pictures and comments from past summers (1999, 2000, 2001, 2002).
