The Arizona section of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AzAAPT) is dedicated to the advancement of physics teaching and learning across Arizona. We seek to foster professional networks and support members in advocating for physics education. Our bi-annual meetings, held in various locations throughout the state, serve as valuable platforms for teachers to come together to share knowledge and ideas.
