Welcome to UBC Physics Olympics Website

Registration for the 2020 Physics Olympics is now open.

The 2020 UBC Physics Olympics will take place on Saturday, March 7, 2020. Every year, teams from high schools across British Columbia will compete for medals in 6 science events. The team with the highest overall score will receive a trophy for their school, as well as other awards.

Up to five students from a team can participate in any given event, and different students from a team can participate in different events.  As such, teams may have between 1 and 30 students.

While every school team must have a designated coach on the day of the competition, we do not require that the coach be the physics teacher for the school. Any responsible adult may serve as the designated coach, including teachers, parents, administrators, or friends.
