Cosmic Pathways is a physics conference for high school and college students interested in careers in STEM with a focus on physical sciences

Cosmic Pathways Chicago – October 2026, Lewis University

Cosmic Pathways NYC II – November 7, 2026, Adelphi University


Lab for Kids is a science outreach program where our college students come to your high school and lead your students through some fun experiments. This is an opportunity for students with an interest in an education career to get some real world teaching experience early on.


We support students on their career pathways. We have developed conference presentations, a board game, and a book. The goal of these efforts is to help students land amazing jobs after college.


Cosmic Pathways is also a portal into the research and teaching activities of Professor Matt Wright and team, including:
