Playing with Protons: Inspiring the Next Generation of Scientists

Mick Storr of CERN and University of Birmingham shares the impact of recognizing teachers as invaluable partners, aiming to empower and support them in expanding scientific knowledge among students. This program encourages educators to bring the wonders of particle physics into classrooms, creating a ripple effect of inspiration and motivation. Participants learn not to instruct teachers on how to impart knowledge but rather to engage in learning from them, fostering a mutually enriching experience. Through this initiative, teachers become ambassadors for science and catalysts for future exploration beyond the realms of traditional education.

  3. Objectives of CERN Teacher Prorgrammes • Pass the message • Teachers are our partners and colleagues • Recognise • Teachers hold the future in their hands • Empower teachers • To update, expand and pass on their knowledge • Facilitate • Learning • Networking • Inspire and encourage • Open and honest • NOT TO tell teachers how to teach • Learn from teachers THANK PwP GR

  4. CERN Teacher Cooperation

  5. Help teachers take young students on a sightseeing tour… The origin of … Universe Black Holes Dark Matter Dark Energy Antimatter Particles August 2019 PwP GR

  6. Outcome • Newly inspired, motivated and confident teachers • Inspire and motivate students • Communicate with their colleagues • Communicate with the general public • Act as ambassadors for science/engineering, physics, particle physics, CERN • Organise follow up activities • Visits, exhibitions, video conferences, projects • Promote teacher programmes • Help us to expand beyond the borders of CERN Excellent examples among the many teachers who have attended our programmes August 2019 PwP GR

  7. Arthur C. ClarkeAuthor of 2001 : A Space Odyssey • “When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.” • • “The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.” • “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Our goal, with your help, is to bring a little of the magic of CERN into the primary school classroom August 2019 PwP GR
