Hands on Particle Physics Masterclasses
Organisation
Introduction


The EPPOG Masterclasses Project is an one day event, where scientific institutes invite high school students at the age of 14 – 18 years to experience particle physics by learning from and working with real data.


The overall agenda is the following: In the morning, students come to your institute where they are introduced to particle physics, experiments and detectors within lectures. After having lunch with the lecturers, their staff and their teachers, they can work on particle physics data on their own and measure branching ratios from particle decays. After solving simple tasks on the measurements, they are then invited to compare their results with students from other countries in a video conference. A possible agenda for this day, can be observed here.


Organizing this event is not a simple task. At first, we suggest to download this checklist. It provides you with a step-by-step list you can roughly follow put up the event in your institute.


However, what ever happens, we try to be of help in any situation
