The International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG) is a network of scientists, science educators and communication specialists engaged in informal science education and outreach for particle physics. The primary goal of the IPPOG members is the development and collection of material and the sharing of best practices in outreach; also increasing awareness about the importance of outreach...
The Physics Laboratory of the Hellenic Open University has constructed a small scale and low cost air shower detector suitable for operation inside the classroom or school laboratory (microCosmics detector). In this work we present some of the educational activities foreseen with the microCosmics air shower detector as well as the planning for the operation of the 1st array of extensive air...
If science outreach is about connecting with new audiences, music remains a uniquely accessible form of outreach. However, physics music needn’t be limited to campy parodies. A new project for creating music that is accessible at multiple technical levels will be presented. Using a form of 2D wavetable synthesis, a new form of electronic music uses stereo audio signals, mapped onto an...
