Adopt-a-Physicist Building Blocks

Help students explore what it's really like to be a physicist.

Adopt-a-Physicist connects high school students with physics graduates via online message boards. In this supervised forum students and physicists can talk freely about careers, school, work and family balance, and all kinds of issues. Learn more!

Due to personnel changes, the Spring 2008 session will not occur. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The next Adopt-a-Physicist session will take place in the fall of 2008. Please send us a note if you would like to be notified when registration for this session opens.

This effort is being led by the American Institute of Physics and the American Physical Society, and aided by Sigma Pi Sigma and the American Association of Physics Teachers. Technical support is through the ComPADRE Digital Library.
