Who We Are

The North American Physics & Astrophysics Alliance (NAPAA) is a student-led alliance of high-school physics and astrophysics clubs across Canada and the United States. NAPAA's mission is to inspire curiosity among students in physics and astrophysics fields, and lower barriers so that every school can offer a thriving physics and astrophysics community. NAPAA is inclusive, collaborative, and community-centred by design—built by students, guided by mentors, and open to anyone who wants to do more science, together. Join as a school, a student, or a supporter and help us grow the next generation of Canadian and American scientists.
