Computing and STEM
Academics from the University of Cambridge have launched a new online resource to help 6th form students get to grips with A level physics.

Academics from the University of Cambridge have launched a new online resource to help 6th form students get to grips with A level physics.

The Isaac Physics site, pictured, challenges participants to solve a series of physics and maths problems, each tailored to individuals’ skills and experience.

The questions are supported by hints and tips from Cambridge physics staff and undergraduates. Students who register for the site will be able to record their performance, watch lectures from the university’s Cavendish Laboratory, and take part in group problem-solving sessions. 

The initiative is the latest strand of the Rutherford School Physics Partnership, which aims to make physics, maths and engineering more accessible and show youngsters what studying STEM subjects at top universities involves.
