IB/AP Physics Summer Camp With UltiTutor.
Topics covered: Physics 1 - Newtonian physics Physics 2 - Thermodynamics, Oscillations & Waves Physics 3 - Electricity and Magnetism
This 30 hours course focus on building problem solving skills by working many test/exam styled problems in step-by-step detail. In this way the student gains confidence and improves skills immediately.
Think about having a great teacher giving you the attention—explaining, illustrating, and demonstrating—instead of reading a textbook; centuries-old "textbook and class lecture" style of teaching doesn't work for at least half of all students. UltiTutor do it the smart way.

I’d take the “Foxconn rate of acceleration as employee jumps out of building” class. That would be a great way to learn physics!
I am staying with a Chinese family in return for speaking English WITH them and helping them gain English language skills. They teach English in their schools... and live on the 30th floor overlooking the Expo.
I will not have an opportunity to visit there, but I will take my iPhone!
As it stands, China's elite education system could be OK, but for the general public, it is said that it does not even meet basic education requirement.
let me guess...”there’s an app for that!”
My middle school daughter has a friend who is going to summer camp in China this year. (Of course it helps that she is Chinese.) In our area, which has a lot of engineers in it, a number of kids do science summer camps and space camps. I’m guessing they are not as high level as the chinese camps, but the kids are definitely interested and ready for a challenge.
They will be doing hands on archaeology, but will be using the Pythagorean Theorem, Cartesian coordinates, and three-dimensional data mapping for laying out the site grid and analyzing and reporting their results.
They will also be using the Internet to control a NASA telescope for planetary exploration.
All it takes is a Christian school board, a couple of dedicated teachers, and educated parents and grandparents who are wiling to contribute time and share their experience...

Actually, their elite( top 10%) education system at the primarily and secondary level is better than what we have. Their basic public school education for the common folk is roughly equivalent to what we have.
And yes, it’s only good for cranking out large numbers of semi-literate workers.
I love her AGW project - it was timely and brilliant!
