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 5 (July 10th): Momentum and impulse In lesson 5, students learned about conservation of momentum and impulse. By using conservation of momentum, students were able to calculate the speeds of objects before and after an explosion or collision. After doing practice problems on the interactions between colliding objects, the instructor ended off the session with an algebra-based problem showing students the role of mathematics as the backbone physics, before recommending resources for further study into the subject, and showcasing a mural made for this class.

 

Volunteer Hours:

Yufei Ye: 2.5 hours

Arjun Rammohan: 1.5 hours
