Are you preparing for the tournament or thinking about participating but still have some questions about how the torunament works or what you will need to do during those Physics Fights? Some commonly asked questions and their answers can be found here. If you can't find the answer you were looking for, feel free to contact us.
SYPT Physics Week
In order to give students the opportunity to prepare for the SYPT under optimal conditions independent of their school environment (i.e. independently from their school, infrastructure, rectorate and teachers), we organize the SYPT Physics Week. We provide competent coaching and superior experimental equipment relevant to their specific problems. This makes it significantly easier for students to participate at the SYPT and enhances their chances at the tournament.
The SYPT Physics Week 2022 will be held from the 13th to the 17th of February at the MNG Rämibühl in Zürich.
Interested participants can chose the Physics Week when registering for the SYPT. For more information, please contact
SYPT - Description
SYPT
The Swiss Young Physicists' Tournament (SYPT) is a competition, where physics enthusiasts from middle schools from anywhere in Switzerland participate. In so called Physics Fights three teams (each consisting of two to three students) compete against each other. They take turns presenting and defending their solution to a given problem, criticizing the solution of the opposing team and reviewing the performance of the two preceding teams. The performance of all three teams is assessed by a jury. The teams have to try to convince both their opponents as well as the jury of the quality of their scientific work and results and of the understanding of physics.
The three rounds (on two days) are accompanied by a social program including opening ceremony, lunch, excursions, dinner and award ceremony after a final.
