Description
Cosmic Ray research is a new branch of physics and astrophysics, which was not known until their discovery in 1912 by Victor Francis Hess [1]. Its deeper understanding has been possible through the development of electronics and detectors. Therefore it was rarely introduced to school curricula. Our CREDO-edu program will reverse the trend of avoiding 20th-century discoveries in physics lessons. We created an application dedicated to conducting cosmic rays measurements [2] in schools and home environments. Moreover, we prepare a programme of year-round school lessons that fully engage teachers on how to familiarise students with cosmic ray phenomena.
