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. 

Please Note: New Zoom Link below+ Today we start at 11am. 

"1x1" had to be canceled due to illness of the speaker.

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:

      The basic 1x1 for science communicators in Netzwerk Teilchenwelt 55m
      • Introduction to Netzwerk Teilchenwelt 30m

        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!

        Speaker: Maike Christina Hansen (University of Bonn (DE))

    • 10:55 → 11:00
      Pause 5m

      • A Theory Masterclass or how to track planetary orbits with a laptop 30m

        In this master class, students will study numerical methods for modelling physical systems. They will gain an insight into the work of theoretical physics and develop an understanding of models. We will use numerical simulations to accurately simulate the orbits of the planets in our solar system and use the simulations to infer the properties of the orbits. At the end of the masterclass, we will examine the particularly interesting orbit of Mercury, which cannot be explained by Newton's gravitation alone. The bridge to particle physics will be built by showing the role of numerical simulations in research and the different types of numerical simulations.
        This master class is aimed at students Sekundarstufe II and above, as well as other interested parties. No in-depth mathematical, computer science or physics knowledge is expected. As the models are written in Python, appropriate hardware is required. Python will be introduced in an online crash course and the models will be built step by step with given code blocks.

        Speakers: David Borgelt (Universität Münster (DE)), Christoph Hanhart (IAS/IKP Forschungszentrum Jülich)
