YALE PHYSICS OYLYMPICS
The Perpetual Motion Squad takes Second Place at the
Yale Physics Olympics
How much does an M&M weigh in units of elephants? How many marshmallows would you have to burn in order to power the city of Las Vegas for a year? These are just some examples of the challenging tasks our amazing students completed October 13, 2018 at the Yale Physics Olympics.
Our team did very well! We are very proud of them!
