CERN is offering high-school students from around the world the chance to create and perform a scientific experiment on a CERN accelerator beamline. What better way to learn about physics? CERN is famous for the discovery of the Higgs boson and the invention of the World Wide Web, but there is much more to the laboratory than that. A large part of CERN’s research and development is carried out at so-called fixed-target beamlines. These projects range from investigating the inner workings of
INTERNATIONAL CONTEST: open to any student in the world. Students learn to create their own youtube videos where they can explain to others their favourite science topic. Videos are grouped in six categories: - S: for students age 12-14 - M: for students age 14-16 - L: for students age 16-18 And then 3 other categories with same age range division for animation videos. A special categorie for best video from Latin American and european (excluding Spain) countries is also part of the contest
NATIONAL CONTEST: science monologues for students. Ciencia Show is a Spanish stand-up science national contest for students. Students present a video with a stand-up science explanation in less than 5 minutes. The best 6 students in each of the selected cities of the project perform in the semifinal in a local theatre with experts as jury. The winner of each city travels to Bilbao for the national final. The final winners (student and teacher) will travel to visit CERN. The webpage of the
CMS Virtual Visits offer students, teachers and the general public a unique opportunity to explore the experimental site of the CMS detector. Through a web-based videoconference, CMS scientists interact with visitors in their native language, explain the physics and technology behind the experiment, and answer their questions. The technical requirements for taking part in a virtual visit are: Recent computer with a (preferably wired) network of minimum 1.0 Mbps Video projector and a
Welcome to the CREATIONS community How can young people’s interest in science be increased? 16 partners from ten European countries want to break new ground. In CREATIONS, a project funded by the European Union, they develop creative approaches based on art for an engaging science classroom. The CREATIONS community portal creates a vital environment of innovative approaches, activities and resources for teachers and students towards Scientific Research. All tools hosted in this portal are based
Welcome to the CREATIONS Online Community for partners (WP4 Community building & Workshops management) This web-space is dedicated to host internal instructions, announce deadlines and relevant links for partners in order to support demonstrators, their communities and their resources for developing an engaging science classroom. Project partners: please bookmark this community and keep visiting prior to a workshop The CREATIONS community portal follows the fundamental aim of the project to
Welcome to the CREATIONS Academy.Here you can find resources to help you define and plan creative science teaching and learning, including good practice examples, planning, workshopping activities and teaching resources, including approaches to Inquiry Based Science Education.

Tools for planning CREATIONS
Community This is a community by UK primary teachers of the Playing with Protons programme at CERN. In here you will find learning resources such as educational scenarios and lesson plans but also school initiatives and more on primary science education. All this has been developed by the CREATIONS team and most importantly by the teachers themselves who, together with you, constitute an ever-growing community of passionate, innovative and creative primary science educators. You are also
Science is boring, science is only for scientist, science is for weird people or too intelligent... this is not true! 4 scientists go in stage and perform a show about science. The goal: breaking the stereotypes, show the kindest side of science, shroten the links between research and school and show that science can be fun. During 1 hour and a half 4 different topics are presented with an important message, we are all nerds, and we are proud of it. At the end of the activity a Q&A part will
