"Physics Wonder Girls" is a free, STEM/Physics Camp for middle school girls and is the brainchild of SJU Physics Professor Dr. Roberto Ramos. Originally funded out of his physics research grant from the National Science Foundation, the camp started out in Indiana and came to Philadelphia in 2016, on the campus of the University of the Sciences (now merged with Saint Joseph's University). Since then, the free physics camp has been funded by the Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Foundation, SPIE - the International Society for Optics and Photonics, Puratos Corporation, and Constellation. The camp has received national attention through the Society of Physics Students, Miss Universe/Miss USA website, Philadelphia's ABC Network News 6, FOX Network News 13, CBS News 3, and international attention through the SPIE Photonics for a Better World International Blog and the SPS Observer, the national magazine of the Society of Physics Students.
The physics outreach camp aims to sustain the interest of middle school girls in science through hands-on physics demonstrations, physics-based games, and career talks. Only about 20% of BS Physics students are women, and the program will help to increase the interest of girls in physics. Students in the Philly-South Jersey area who are nominated by their science teachers to be among the most promising in science undergo final selection based on science grades, letters of recommendation, and a short essay to form several small, specialized cohorts of 15 campers. Campers experience four intense days of project-building, physics demonstrations and experiments, and interactions with women scientists. The capstone activity is a Girls' Physics Community Showcase, presented by the participants for friends, teachers and family on the last day.
Physics Wonder Girls has attracted the attention of Philly’s ABC Network News Channel 6, which aired a two-minute segment on its primetime 6 o'clock news, with a potential regional viewership of 6 million people, as they interviewed campers and the PI about “girls in science” and the role of STEM camps. In 2018, Fox News Network covered the camp live for five minutes in its morning news program , and in 2019, CBS News Network made a video clip of the camp for their evening news. In 2021, Dr. Ramos was awarded Second Place in the Greater Philadelphia Social Innovator Awards' Community Impact category for his work with the Physics Wonder Girls Program.
