Description
The Extreme Energy Events (EEE) experiment is a large network of eco-friendly gas- and scintillator-based muon telescopes designed to detect cosmic rays. The EEE Project supports scientific research and education, aiming to immerse students in diverse experiences that showcase many aspects of research, including detector operation, data analysis, field measurements and science communication.
High-energy physics, particularly cosmic-ray research, provides a unique opportunity to engage young people. The PolarquEEEst mission in 2025, organized to measure cosmic-ray flux across a wide latitude range, was highly successful in promoting exchange among students from different countries. During the mission, a scintillator telescope was installed in a car driven from Italy to Norway, covering latitudes from 44.5°N to 70°N, a region previously unexplored in muon-flux studies. These measurements complemented earlier campaigns conducted aboard the Amerigo Vespucci training ship and along the Italian peninsula.
Throughout the journey, scientific stops and outreach events were held at German and Norwegian schools, where Italian students involved in the EEE Project presented their work and explained their role in the research. This helped create an international learning environment in which science became a shared language and a catalyst for cultural exchange.
