Physics Summer Programs for 10th Grader: After PARI Program

AI Thread Summary
A high school student in 10th grade is seeking summer programs focused on physics, particularly astrophysics, that start after June 30. They have already been accepted into a program at PARI through Duke from June 16 to June 30 but are looking for additional opportunities. They applied for a five-day program at NSCL through MSU starting in August but are anxious about the wait for results. Suggestions include exploring state-specific Governor's programs and considering Mathcamp, which runs from July 5 to August 10. Mathcamp is recommended for students with precalculus and trigonometry knowledge, offering a flexible curriculum with classes relevant to physics, and it allows alumni to return in subsequent years.

I am currently a high school student (10th grade) and am looking for any summer programs relating to physics, particularly astrophysics.

I was already accepted into a program at PARI through Duke, but this goes 6/16-6/30, and many programs I have found start before or during that.

So does anyone know of any programs that start after that? I applied for a 5 day program at the NSCL through MSU that starts in August, but the results don't come back until April, and I don't want to wait and hope I get lucky… Thanks.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I would also be interested in stuff like that.
 
Bump. Really want some info.
 
I don't have anything Physics-based (though maybe look into your state's Governors' program, whatever it is), but if you've done up through precalculus and trigonometry, you can look into doing Mathcamp. Goes from July 5th to August 10th. Calculus experience is preferred, but it's a great experience and you can choose your classes, picking ones relevant to physics and whatnot. Plus, alumni are automatically invited back for following years.
 
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. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
