SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding undergraduate-level summer schools that offer intensive 1-2 week courses in propulsion science or theoretical physics, similar to the Plasma Surf program. Participants express the limited availability of such programs, noting that while they may provide credits, they often resemble camps rather than traditional classes. The conversation highlights the need for concentrated learning experiences that go beyond standard semester formats.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of propulsion science principles
  • Basic knowledge of theoretical physics concepts
  • Familiarity with summer school formats and academic credit systems
  • Awareness of specialized programs like Plasma Surf
NEXT STEPS
  • Research summer schools offering intensive courses in propulsion science
  • Explore programs similar to Plasma Surf for theoretical physics
  • Investigate academic institutions that provide short-term research opportunities
  • Look into online platforms for condensed courses in advanced physics topics
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduate students interested in specialized summer learning experiences, educators seeking innovative course formats, and anyone exploring advanced topics in propulsion science and theoretical physics.

I am searching for an undergraduate level summer school, not the ones where you are being taught like an ordinary semester, but preferably the ones where you take a fast 1-2 week concentrated courses, and maybe some research. Something like Plasma Surf.

I want something that is either related to propulsion science, or theoretical physics.

Any suggestions?

Not really to much theoretical physics in undergrad...have you look at Kahn Acad.

I am not looking for a learning resource. Please take a look at plasma surf to know what I am searching for. Thanks.
 
That is going to be a pretty limited "market", not too many kids to do this and not to many offerings. While it offers credits - it seem more like a camp, it will not really replace a true class in any of the subjects, "opportunity to gain insight"...
