Limit Less
Limit Less is the IOP’s new campaign to support young people to change the world and fulfil their potential by doing physics.
Unfortunately,
some young people are put off by the misconceived ideas they are told
about what physics is. Others are denied the opportunity to study
physics due to the prejudice and stereotypes that they experience
because of who they are.
This campaign is not directly aimed at young
people themselves. Instead, it is aimed at those whom younger people
trust and listen to, and who help shape their opinions and decisions. No
young person should be made to feel locked out of physics. Help us
ensure that there are no limits on who can take part- learn more about how you can get involved.
