    Compass and its participants have received a number of awards, including a prestigious award from the American Physical Society, the largest organization of physicists in the US.

    APS Award for Improving Undergraduate Physics Education

    Compass is the proud recipient of the American Physical Society’s 2012 Award for Improving Undergraduate Physics Education. This award “seeks to recognize physics departments and /or undergraduate-serving programs in physics that support best practices in education at the undergraduate level.” Much like how platforms such as casinos not on Gamstop cater to specific audiences through customised experiences, Compass’s approach addresses the unique needs of undergraduate students in physics education.
