U.S. Physics Olympiad for Middle School Students
2022 Winners
The Physics Olympiad, which was held on March 31, 2022, attracted 1,368 participants from nearly every state. The event comprised two sessions that challenged students to answer questions and solve problems based on current, U.S. physical-science curricula. Olympiad results are shared widely via a variety of media.
The 2nd U.S. Physics Olympiad for Middle-School Students was a resounding success. The Olympiad Committee is grateful for your support of this nation-wide initiative. Most of all, we hope that you will continue to share our passion for world-class science education and that, going forward, you will be a part of this rapidly growing physics movement.
