AAPT publications include two peer-reviewed journals, the American Journal of Physics and The Physics Teacher. The association has two annual National Meetings (winter and summer) and has regional sections with their own meetings and organization. The association also offers grants and awards for physics educators, including the Richtmyer Memorial AwardRichtmeyer Memorial Award, AAPT website and programs and contests for physics educators and students. It is headquartered at the American Center for Physics in College Park, Maryland.- the content below is remote from Wikipedia

History
The American Association of Physics Teachers was founded on December 31, 1930, when forty-five physicists held a meeting during the joint APS-AAAS meeting in Cleveland specifically for that purpose.The AAPT became a founding member of the American Institute of Physics after the other founding members were convinced of the stability of the AAPT itself after a new constitution for the AAPT was agreed upon.Contests
The AAPT sponsors a number of competitions. The Physics Bowl, Six Flags’ roller coaster contest, and the US Physics Team are just a few. The US physics team is determined by two preliminary exams and a week and a half long “boot camp”. Each year, five members are selected to compete against dozens of countries in the International Physics Olympiad (IPHO).See also
