About PTTS

PTTS aims to address the educational gap in India by improving physics education at the undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) levels. We focus on training motivated students and teachers, particularly from rural areas, to enhance critical thinking, inspire teaching, and foster upward academic mobility.

Since 2015, we have conducted workshops, schools, and training programs, reaching UG/PG students and teachers across the country.

What We Do

Our flagship programs are intensive 2-3 week training sessions for undergraduate and postgraduate students. These programs include interactive lectures, collaborative problem-solving tutorials, and experimental physics courses designed to inspire critical thinking and hands-on learning. In addition to this, we conduct workshops for teachers to introduce modern teaching methods and active-learning pedagogies. We also organize shorter, region-specific mini-programs tailored to address local needs and challenges.

Unique Features

Our programs emphasize active learning, where theory courses encourage students to engage in interactive Q&A sessions and collaborative problem-solving activities. A key highlight is our experimental physics module, where students design and execute experiments on a challenging budget of Rs. 300. This approach fosters creativity and practical problem-solving skills. We also focus on diversity and inclusion by prioritizing the participation of women, rural students, and individuals from underrepresented regions.

Other Programs

  1. Online Workshop: "Active Learning for Physics Teachers"
    An online workshop on Active Learning for Physics Teachers was held from March 4–7, 2021, featuring a welcome message by Prof. Carl Wieman, Nobel Prize winner. The resource persons for the workshop were:
    • Dr. Georg Rieger, Department of Physics and former Director of the Carl Wieman Science Education Initiative, University of British Columbia.
    • Dr. Eric Burkholder, Department of Physics, Stanford University.
    Approximately 35 teachers participated in this interactive and enriching workshop.
  1. Discussion Meeting: "Experimental Program of PTTS"
    A two-day discussion meeting was held on November 4–5, 2019, at IISER Pune, focusing on the Experimental Program of PTTS. The meeting brought together 23 participants from across the country for a productive discussion on potential experiments to include in future programs.
  1. Mini-PTTS Program
    A Mini-PTTS was organized at KBN College, Andhra Pradesh, from December 16–20, 2019, for 50 second-year B.Sc. students. The program included a short course on Mechanics and Oscillations, along with a hands-on experimental session.

These programs reflect our continued commitment to advancing physics education through innovative workshops, discussion meetings, and regional training initiatives.
