EinStein's PhysXXX Study Group Outline

Instructor: Space City Pinball League

Course Curriculum : The PhysXXX curriculum includes interactions of matter and energy, velocity, accelerations, force, and momentum. Space Cadets will test their skills to manipulate physical matter using electricity and mechanical engineering constructs.

Course Instructions : SCPL Cadets will assembly in small study groups of 3-4. Each group will attempt to outperform their group peers in a test of skill on one of the specialized electromechanical PhysXXX simulators available. Group failure rate is 50% in groups of 4 (bottom 2) and 33% in groups of 3 (bottom 1). Failure results in a single X (strike). After three failures you are on academic probation until the next schedule PhysXXX class. Only one SCPL cadet will prevail.

Material's List: $1 for IFPA fees & coin-drop

Prerequisite: age 21+, familiarity with concepts such as "fun" and "a good time"

Electronic Devices: Students should be able to access http://app.matchplay.events/ on a personal electronic device.
