Sessions
The Saturday Morning Physics program is given at Fermilab three times a year in what are called sessions. Students can select the session they want to attend at the moment of registration (see Registration link to the left). Students that missed a few classes of their session are welcome to attend the classes in other sessions, however the certificate of accomplishment or any other award will only be given based on a single session attendance.
The schedule for the 2016-2017 Sessions follow:
| Session 1 |
October 1 - December 3, 2016 (November 26 - No class Thanksgiving weekend) |

Each session of the Saturday Morning Physics program consist of nine Saturday mornings. The Saturday starts at 9 am with a lecture followed by a tour at 11 am visiting some of Fermilab's interesting sites. The tours last about 40 minutes. Each Saturday one of the SMP coordinators will be present to introduce the lecturer to the students. After the lecture the coordinator will introduce the tour guides to the students and help coordinate the tour visits.
