Physics teaches young people to understand and solve complex problems. Not just on paper. Not just in theory. The kind that exists everywhere in the world, waiting to be solved. Unfortunately, too many young people’s opportunities are being limited. One such opportunity is studying physics at school. Too many young people are made to feel that they can’t do physics, or they just don’t fit in. (Limit Less Report) 

Whether it’s misconceptions about what physics is, being denied the opportunity due to harmful stereotypes or barriers due to gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability or social background – something is putting people off physics.
