About Physics Pathfinders
Welcome to Physics Pathfinders! We're a team of senior school students based in Auckland passionate about science education and we want to share our knowledge and enthusiasm. Our mission is to make science education accessible and fun for children everywhere. Since 2022, we have been providing physics workshops for young students through interesting experiments linked to relevant scientific concepts. We hope this programme will engage local students and spark interest in science while simultaneously exposing them to the impactful ideas that shape our world.
Along with the founding members and current leaders, Physics Pathfinders is aided by a team of volunteers who share our passion for science education. If you would also like to help with our mission, we invite you to get involved and help us make a difference in the lives of children in our community.
Our Team.
Physics Pathfinders was founded by Michael Feng, and is currently led by Michael along with Lance Du, Ryan Jeon, Tongsheng Wu, and James Zhang
