  1. Christine Kourkoumelis University of Athens A few thoughts about the future of the Education and Outreach Committee (in accordance with the Working Packages announced at the review of Dec.2011) C.Kourkoumelis,UoA

  2. What CERN is doing (see Claudia’s talk) What can be gone at CERN • Visits (schools,teachers,family,friends,VIP) • Media • Improve AVC • Create “the Path to Globe” • Local Masterclasses • Local events (night of researches, etc) • Summer schools and 3-day visits of teachers

  3. What can CERN/institutes do? NEED help from Institutes • TALK TO THE MEDIA • Be guides of their VIP’s, authorities and interact with them at all levels • Write on Blogs • Use Social media • Articles for front page of atlas.ch (news) • Guide visits when@CERN • Help in national teacher’s program • Translate material

  4. What all the 174 institutes should do (1) Help teachers use the resources created and introduce ATLAS@schools There are several resources for teachers preparing lesson plans : • The Learning with ATLAS@CERN http://www.learningwithatlas-portal.eu/ • The PATHWAY IBSE Project http://www.pathway-project.eu/ • Discover_the_COSMOS • http://portal.discoverthecosmos.eu/ • IPPOG data basehttp://ippog.web.cern.ch

  5. What all the 174 institutes should do (3) • Organize masterclasses (~50 do already) ATLAS has two event analysis tools : MINERVA, HYPATIA TU Dresden is Master of the mastersclasses and we all pioneered in the use of LHC data for Masterclasses writing the measurement scenaria, IF YOU NEED HELP TO SET THEM UP,please tell us

  6. What all the 174 institutes should do (4) Organize local events This is hard: it needs weeks of organization/publicity, space, budget and a team of min6620-Dec-196 >5 persons. If you do not have these do not try or try to combine it with some on going activity in the community etc C.Kourkoumelis,UoA

  7. What all the 174 institutes should do (5) Organize lectures for the public (we should explain what we are doing after all…) • If the subject and the speaker are cleverly chosen (namely sexy) they can attract big crowds. The lever has to be monitored VERY carefully AND the lecture has to be combined with some of the available ATLAS multimedia to make the whole thing lighter • Good advertising is a MUST C.Kourkoumelis,UoA

  8. What all the 174 institutes should do (6) 8 cities in 8 months • Host exhibitions, science fairs, organize ATLAS corner • Example: • The CERN mini expo toured Greece from Sept –June • 8 cities visited in 8 months ~22,000 students visited ~750 teachers trained in concurrent workshops C.Kourkoumelis,UoA

  9. Future of the Mini exhibition The CERN mini exhibition will continue its trip and get further enriched and accompanied my teacher’s hands-on October :Cyprus November: Belgrade December on:tour of Spain(Granada,Madrid,Barcelona, , Santander..) We (ATLAS) should contribute hardware ex. A small MDT made from cut left overs tubes 60 cm long C.Kourkoumelis,UoA

  10. Science fairsUSA Science & Engineering Festival in Washington, DC,28/4/2012 Congratulations To Kyle Crammer and Team for setting up the ATLAS pavillion and talking to 2,000 kids In one day !!! C.Kourkoumelis,UoA

  11. What all the 174 institutes should do (7) • Go and talk to schools • Organize virtual visits @ATLAS CR (already 20, they prompt a Q&A session) • Organize school visits to CERN • Organize summer schools • Create multimedia material • Disseminate, disseminate …..

  12. What all the 174 institutes should do (8) • Talk to Media as often as you can • Bring your officials to CERN • Provide guides to accompany visits @CERN, physicists to interact at different levels with audience stakeholders, students, parents C.Kourkoumelis,UoA

  13. How we can get more organized? (1) • We will send a survey to get to know you • We will create space (most probably in atlas.ch –which bee revisited) to allow you to put : • your presentations • Your activities (separate for in house, schools etc) • Your news • Please send us your suggestions about that

  14. How we can get more organized? (2) • We will create a calendar with locations of activities Every interested person will know where/when there will be a nearby activity C.Kourkoumelis,UoA

  15. Conclusions • All ideas (and criticism) are welcome • We aim at a much more closer collaboration of the committee with the outreachers of each institute • We very strongly wish that few outreachers take responsibility for a task spelled out in our Working Packages • THANKS AND HOPE TO STAY IN TOUCH C.Kourkoumelis,UoA

  16. BACK UP C.Kourkoumelis,UoA
