Description

The ATLAS Collaboration at CERN has developed a wide array of resources to support informal education for all ages. From colouring books and activity sheets for children, to fact sheets and cheat sheets for more advanced learners, ATLAS provides a collection of printable resources that can be used to learn more about particle physics and the ATLAS detector. In addition, the latest 3D printed and Lego models of the ATLAS detector developed in 2024 help bring the experiment to life in a new way. All these resources can be used in diverse contexts: at home, in classrooms, at science festivals and outreach events, and more. The printable material is translated into many languages, which allows ATLAS to expand its outreach efforts to all parts of the world. This contribution will highlight our most recent content and discuss the process of identifying and prioritising topics. We will also outline the process of creating, designing, reviewing and translating these educational resources.
