jIAPS Monthly Photography Competitions

Happy Mars Day for 7th March and Happy Pi Day for the 14th March!This month’s theme for the jIAPS Photography Competition is anything related to pi, pies, Mars, mars-bars or food in general.

We would love to see your photos – just email us at jiaps@iaps.info, tag us on social media or post your photos in the #photos channel of the IAPS Discord. You don’t have to be a current physics student to enter.

As well as the monthly themes, jIAPS always enjoys seeing Physics-related photos, including photos of events organised by IAPS and other Physics societies. You can see some of the best photos of Physics events here.

Thankful for: Fun Physics Outreach
Each year our university student scout and guide organisation host a science jamboree in conjunction with the university and this year I mentored a group to deliver an activity and then delivered some myself. We delivered some magnetism activities to five Cub units (groups of 8-10 year olds) I was delivering mag-lev pencils.
