From July 6–10, 2026, Yufei Ye and Arjun Rammohan successfully led a five-day Middle School Physics Summer Camp designed to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of middle school physics.
Each session ran from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM and was followed by an extended Q&A session, allowing instructors to provide individualized support for students who needed additional help. Throughout the week, Yufei also dedicated extra time outside of class to review and provide feedback on homework, answer students’ questions, and ensure each participant fully understood the material.
Day 4 (July 9th): Work and energy In lesson 4, students learned about different types of energy, and how one type of energy might be transformed into another. Using formulas to calculate conversion rates between energy, students did things like calculating the speed of an object as it falls and calculating the compression of a spring from the speed at which it is hit. They also learned about work, a way of quantifying the amount of change exerted on one object by another. The
instructor finally ended the class with AP-style challenge problems to prepare students for future applications of the skills they learned in class today.
Volunteer Hours:
Yufei Ye: 2.5 hours
