International Cosmic Day 2016

1 Nov 2016, 08:45 → 2 Nov 2016, 17:00 Europe/Zurich

CERN

The 5th International Cosmic Day will take place on November 2, 2016. This event will bring students, teachers and scientists together to talk and learn about Cosmic Rays.

• What are cosmic particles?
• Where do they come from?
• How can they be measured?

During the International Cosmic Day (ICD) we will find answers to these questions. But furthermore, we will carry out our own measurements and get in contact with groups all over the world to compare and discuss our results. We will work like a real scientists in an international collaboration.

For the International Cosmic Day 2016, S'Cool LAB welcomes a group from Finland (Helsingin matematiikkalukio) for 2 days at CERN.
