Speaker Series: On Physicist and Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman

Richard Feynman: Nobel Laureate and Unconventional Classical Physics Teacher

Dr. Katherine Fiege explores how Richard Feynman’s unique personality and equally unique approach to teaching made complex physics accessible to many people. The talk will touch upon Feynman’s role in the Manhattan project, his safe-cracking activities, his role in the Challenger shuttle investigation, and his belief in the value of struggle for education.

Open to all members of the community. Minors must be accompanied with a parent or guardian.

This event is part of Northwest Classical Academy's Speaker Series, hosted by the Upper School Literature Department. NCA seeks to provide an after-hours educational opportunity to anyone interested. To further the reach of our mission, select educators host personal lectures on their topics of expertise twice a semester. The lectures provide insight into what students are learning at NCA, but also serve to supplement attendees in the complex and interesting worlds of these studies.
