Society of Physics Students

The Society of Physics Students provides a forum for the discussion of pertinent facts and discoveries in all branches of physics, allows students the opportunity to engage in activities related to physics, and generates public interest in the physical sciences.

The 蜜桃影像 Chapter of the Society of Physics (SPS) students engages in a variety of fun activities to promote physics. These include movie nights, journal clubs, outreach events with local schools, star nights, trebuchet launches, rocket building competitions, travel and more!
