Program Overview

Program Overview

The Fotonas " " " , , ) program is designed for students in grades IX-XII, with a duration of four years. The program aims to deepen students' knowledge of physics, teach them to solve various problems, and conduct experiments. The program is open to students who wish to enhance their understanding of physics and develop " " " , , ) skills.

Admission Criteria

To be admitted to the program, students must complete a series of tasks and submit their answers. The tasks will be sent to the students, who will then have to complete them independently, with the option to consult with a teacher or peers.
