Are you excited about science? Are you happy to stand on a stage in front a big crowd? Do you want to do some cool experiments? Then become a science show presenter!

What is a science show?

CERN's science shows are interactive demonstrations in front of an audience of up to 400 participants. They present various topics related to CERN - and beyond. The science shows are guided by scripts - but they do not need to be learnt off by heart.

What is "Proton Express" about?

The Proton Express show follows the path of a proton from the hydrogen bottle to the collision point, exploring the incredible technologies that enable us to make new discoveries. Are you interested in levitation? Quantum effects? Or perhaps you wish to see how cryogenics work? Then this is the science show for you!

Science show Proton Express is accessible as of 12 years old  and lasts about 45 minutes + 15 minutes for Q&A.

 

What will the training be like?

The training will be in English and will last 1.5 hours. This includes:

• Overview of safety and access 
• Overview of the show script and experiments 
• Introduction to weekend show setup 
• Trying out experiments and Q&A 

 

All essential resources for this training can be accessed through SCIENCE SHOWS | CERN Guides.

Please note that this science show requires you also to take a 3-hour Cryogenic Safety-Fundamentals course (which can be taken after the training).

You will also need to watch the "Proton Express" Show preferably during the following week.
