This year's edition of the conference was organized jointly with the Institute of Physics of the Silesian University of Technology. “We want to encourage pupils to learn science. The very title of the competition " Should we be afraid of physics?" shows that physics is not something to be feared. We want the outcome of the conference to be a clear and legible answer: physics is not something to be afraid of. It is presented as something difficult, but in fact, if we approach it properly, it is not that difficult - emphasized Dr. hab. Eng. Adam Michczyński, professor of the University of Silesia, director of the Institute of Physics.
The competition was entered by secondary school pupils - physics enthusiasts, not only from Silesia, but also from Lesser Poland and even from Bydgoszcz. – Participants were given questions prepared by a group of our scientists. During the Conference, we will evaluate their presentations - explained Dr. Eng. Aneta Grodzicka from the Faculty of Mining, Safety Engineering and Industrial Automation.
