Meet high school students in a videoconference

International Masterclasses organisers are looking for physicists at CERN to moderate videoconferences with high school students

23 January, 2017

International Masterclasses give high school students the unique chance to be "physicists for one day" and work with original data from LHC experiments.

Students are invited from nearby research institutes and universities. They get an introduction to particle physics and analyse data from ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, and LHCb. Afterwards they participate in a videoconference with student groups from other countries and with moderators at CERN.

The organisers are looking for physicists at CERN who have a passion for outreach and would like to moderate videoconferences with high school students.

The videoconferences will be held at CERN from 4 - 5 p.m. each day, with up to 5 groups in one video linkup.
International Masterclasses cover the period 01.03.2017 - 11.04.2017.
Moderators usually pick 3 dates.
Moderators work in pairs; a training is provided.
More than 200 institutes from 50 countries participate.
