Join Us for the First Edition of Women@SYPT!

A physics retreat in Hotel Balsthal taking place on the weekend of February 21st–22nd.

From Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon, you’ll take part in interactive activities, mock Physics Fights, and feedback sessions designed to help you feel more confident in public speaking and teamwork. You’ll learn how to react to comments and criticism, strengthen your presence, and better understand the roles of Reporter, Opponent, and Reviewer.

There will also be time to relax outdoors and connect with other participants. By the end of the weekend, you’ll leave with practical tools, new insights, and greater confidence for the next SYPT!
