WAPT - Wisconsin Association of Physics Teachers

Caleb Bonyun has arrived safely from Boston and the last minute preparations are underway. Very much looking forward to seeing folk today and tomorrow!

Very much looking forward to the WAPT & SPS Zone 9 joint meeting on Friday and Saturday Nov 3-4! We have close to 4 hours of talks, five workshops, a dozen posters, three wonderful guest speakers, and many chances to meet and talk with others interested in teaching and learning physics. Although the speakers list is now closed, you are more than welcome to join us at Marquette University this weekend. See you soon!
