Schools High School Physics organizations

AI Thread Summary
High school students in southeastern Wisconsin interested in physics can explore extracurricular organizations to enhance their experience and resume. The Science Olympiad is recommended for exposure to physics and other scientific fields, although participation depends on school availability. If the school lacks a science club or league, students can look for external organizations. The American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) offers resources and publications, including "The Physics Teacher," which may provide additional opportunities for engagement in physics outside of school settings.

I'm a high school student living in southeastern Wisconsin primarily interested in physics and I was wondering if any of you had information about good extracurricular physics organizations. I'm especially looking for something where I would get to socialize with other kids in the organization, but anything that looks good on a resume is fine. Thanks in advance. :smile:

Consider the Science Olympiad if your school has a team. There, you'll get exposed to some physics stuff as well as stuff from other fields:

my school doesn't have any olympiad teams
 
No science club or science league??
 
I can't find anything about any sort of science club on my schools website, and I can't check with any teachers until schools starts again in September. Anything not affiliated with school?
 
Try www.aapt.org is the link to the American Association of Physics Teachers. They publish a magazine called The Physics Teacher which caters to teaching at all levels.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
