Description
Covering the most exciting results that push the limits of our knowledge about the Universe is a challenge for school education. Several complications hinder the direct implementation of such content into school curricula. This gap can be bridged by outreach activities. We report on outreach activities in particle physics that are organised in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, most notably the International Particle Physics Masterclasses, coordinated globally by the International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG). Based on surveys that we have collected over several years of Masterclasses, we examined their long-term impact on the participants.
