Onboarding for new science communicators / ATLAS Z Masterclass

Europe/Zurich
Description

Onboarding for new science communicators

This online onboarding event consists of two parts, which can be joined independently. The first part gives an introdution to  Netzwerk Teilchenwelt for everyone who just joined or eventually wants to do so. It addresses to new science communicators, university contacts and interested students. 

This onboarding helps you to get to know other science communicators and gives you the chance to learn about all aspects of Netzwerk Teilchenwelt: How to become an active part of the network, for which events are you paid and what kind of workshops are offered for students, teachers or science communicators.

We will try to answer all your questions! 

In the second part one particular Masterclass is presented in more detail to give an idea and one example of what you as a science communicator can actively do in Netzwerk Teilchenwelt. Also, to give an example what topics are typically explained to the students in talks or what type of hands-on excercises are possible within the different Masterclasses that exist.

For experienced people this part can be used to exchange materials and ideas on a certain Masterclass. Often several sites in Germany offer the same Masterclass, they share some material, but often each site has its own games, slides or aspects how to best communicate the topic to the students. It can be quite fruiteful to exchange these ideas and share the experience with others. So, whether new or experienced, register, join and enjoy! 

 

Both parts are held via zoom:

        This introductory talk includes a short presentation of Netzwerk Teilchenwelt and how to become an active science communicator. Also, possibilities to extend your science communication skills and links to materials for the differnt masterclasses will be presented. You are highly encouraged to join and ask all your questions!

      • The ATLAS Z-path Masterclass 30m

        The ATLAS Z-Path masterclass is one of the established and widespread masterclasses of Netzwerk Teilchenwelt. It deals with the Z and the Higgs boson and conveys how to detect those particles through their decay products i.e. leptons and photons in the ATLAS detector.
        For the data analysis part, a software called HYPATIA is used which provides an interactive interface to event displays.
        In this talk, the general structure of a ATLAS Z-path masterclass is shown where the focus will be put on the practical experiences gathered in the six years that Göttingen offered this masterclass in person as well as remotely. This starts with the technical setup, continues to the tipps and tricks for a smooth analysis phase and ends with the best (or at least not worst) questions asked during the discussion phase.
