A vast majority of high-ability students lacks access to adequate guidance and high-level education in STEM, tailored to their needs and curiosity. This limited access deprives them of opportunities to develop their interests and abilities effectively, which can hinder their ability to reach their full potential and make valuable contributions to the scientific community.
We nurture students' individual interests by providing mentorship, resources to promote growth and development. In addition to academic subjects, PhysicsBeyond focuses on developing students' soft skills, such as advanced and effective learning skills, personal knowledge management, mental health awareness, critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication. The tools used to connect students are completely online, equipping them with competencies related to 21-century technology. We offer different programs, Physics From a Researcher's Point of View; open to curious minds, BeyondResearch; for a specific target group of dedicated talents to be directly taught and mentored by a researcher, and PTGS; to help talented but disadvantaged students from developing countries to close their gaps in education empowering them to apply to Ivy League universities.
Feedback reported a 100% positive change in students' thinking about STEM and appreciation of the learned skills since establishment.
The active participation of students in our community has enabled them to challenge themselves every week and acquire exceptional knowledge and skills. As a result, some participants have opted to participate in one or more of the advertised competitions, either individually or as a team, and have successfully applied for other highly selective STEM education programs. Furthermore, some students are presently conducting research.
We want the world to recognize and address the fact that there are different levels of talent, dedication, and interest. We plan to increase our impact by consolidating a link between learners and seasoned professionals. Mentorship will be available for those who need it, so they learn from experts. Professionals will have access to a pool of motivated students.
PhysicsBeyond is offering a range of programmes and opportunities for developing young talents in STEM, as well as a common online platform for intellectual exchange. Should you want to implement or discuss more about potential implementation, onboarding a student or helping the community, contact the founder, Dr Filip Bar.
