The Harvard Project Physics was a curriculum development group based at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. and supported by the United States Office of Education and the National Science Foundation. Its goals were to develop a humanistically oriented physics course by presenting the subject in historical and cultural perspective, help increase high school physics enrollments, and contribute to the knowledge of the factors that influence science learning. "The World of Enrico Fermi" is a documentary film that traces the life of the Italian-born physicist. He left Italy in 1938 due to the rise of fascism. He worked on the Manhattan Project, taught at Columbia University and the University of Chicago. Among his theoretical contributions were his theory of beta decay and the realization of a nuclear chain reaction.
