The Saturday Physics Honors Program offers high school and college students and teachers opportunities to meet world-class researchers in a relaxed, interactive setting, to learn about recent advances in the physical sciences, to see how physics underlies modern technology, and to view its impact on our everyday lives. By invitation only. Students are given the chance to see what the University of Illinois has to offer to academically talented students. They participate in a creative design contest, a formal banquet, informational sessions, panel discussions, and social activities. The first night the students stay in a hotel, the students may chose to stay a second night with a current engineering student.
