Physics Fights this weekend in Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington.

[Kerry Parker and Andy Price]

Forget the rugby, the cricket or those diy jobs... why not pop in to watch 
some Physics Fights?!
On Saturday 7th March some of our bravest and resourceful Physics students 
will be facing each other in simultaneous regional heats, competing to win 
Te Patuki  Nga Hinengaro Ahupungao (The battle, in the mind, in physics), 
the New Zealand tournament of the International Young Physicists' 
Tournament.  IYPT New Zealand has been steadily growing since King's College 
first entered a team more than 5 years ago.  This is the first time we have 
had regional heats (the national final is in Auckland three weeks later).

The events run all day (roughly 9-5) hosted by Kings College (Auckland) and 
at the Physics Depts of Victoria and Canterbury Universities.  You can drop 
in at any time and having an audience is great for the students.  There are 
three rounds with three fights in each round.  Watching a good physics fight 
is fascinating and you never know, it might just inspire you!

hoping to see you there
