Art@CMS is an education and outreach initiative of the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics. Art@CMS seeks to act as an inspiring springboard for engaging the public in general, and youth in particular, in the excitement of scientific research in High Energy Physics (HEP). It thus aims to promote a long-lasting dialogue between the LHC scientific community, the art world

Have you ever wondered how we can integrate Modern Physics in the school curriculum? Do you believe that exciting discoveries such as the Discovery of Gravitational Waves or the Discovery of the Higgs Boson can be brought in the classroom in a consistent and understandable fashion? The FRONTIERS Project brings together expertise from frontier scientific research and educational research in formal and informal science learning, along with user communities across Europe, in order to demonstrate

"Neutrino Physics is Largely an Art of Learning a great deal by observing Nothing" Haim Harari, Neutrino Physicist Neutrinos are the most elusive and strange particles of nature. The difficulty in detecting them may look like an obstacle, but it can also be a blessing since they can be used as probes to observe the far ends of the universe. In this community and the corresponding demonstrator we will discuss the physics of neutrinos in a way suitable for the classroom and the principles

Creativity, Arts and Science in primary Education (CASE) project will contribute to teachers' professional development and to the development and sustainability of creativity of young people and propose creative pedagogies. Embedded within this is the vitally important notion that young people are creating wisely and humanely, and that cyclical development occurs between their creativity and their identity. As they generate new ideas; this in turn generates change in them as ‘makers’; they are

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

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

In August 1912, Austrian physicist Victor Hess made a historic balloon flight that opened a new window on matter in the universe. As he ascended to 5300 metres, he measured the rate of ionization in the atmosphere and found that it increased to some three times that at sea level. He concluded that penetrating radiation was entering the atmosphere from above. He had discovered cosmic rays.These high-energy particles arriving from outer space are mainly (89%) protons – nuclei of hydrogen, the

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

"Hunting the Ghost Particles" The performance ID for the CREATIONS SUMMER SCHOOL 2016 Duration: approx. 30 min. The concept “Hunting the Ghost Particles” is the title of the event that will be presented on July 7th based on the concept of understanding the so-called “ghost particles”. A stage performance and a mini “science café”, both accompanied with live music, will be included in the event. All participants will contribute in the preparation, production, finalization and performance of this

“CREATIONS Summer School 2018 - Developing an engaging classroom” The CREATIONS Summer School 2018 which will take place at Marathon, Greece on 08/07/2018– 13/07/2018 introduces innovative approaches and activities that involve teachers and students in Scientific Research through creative ways that are based on Art. The Courses focus on the development of effective links and synergies between schools and research infrastructures in order to spark young people’s interest in science and in
