  2. Who we are and what we do Our Activities Organisational structure Communication Network and users‘ community Ideas for the future

  3. Weare… … a German Network of • scientists • (astro-)particlephysics • students • aged 15-19 • teachers/trainers • atschools, schoollabs, sciencecentres, etc. • in direkt contactto CERN

  4. We … • workwithstudentsandteachersto bring modern researchtotheclassroom • offerprogrammesin particlephysicsandastroparticlephysics • offeryoungscientiststhechanceandknowledgetoimprovetheircommunicationskills

  5. OurConcept • 4 programmelevels • Basic: introductiontoparticlephysics • Qualification: participantsorganizeownprojects • Strengtheningtheexperience: workshopsat CERN • Research Projects: atresearchinstitutes(CERN & DESY) • 4 centralelements • localprojectsall over Germany throughouttheyear • workshopsat CERN • developmentofcontext material • scientificevaluation students& teachers particlephysicsandcosmicprojects

  6. Activities2010 / 2011 / 2012 teachers/trainers students Research Projects CERN Qualification Basic

  7. Activities: National Masterclasses what: about 120 „national masterclasses“ a year where: mostly in schools, also schoollabs, fairs, exhibitions how: 4-5 hrs, one talk, measurements, quiz, novideoconf supervision: mostlyPhDstudents, assistedby(school) studentsandteachers groups: about 20 schoolstudents data: LHC&LEP National Masterclass in Lenggries (MPI München)

  8. what: 20 „basicintroductorydays“, 30 „projectweeks“, ~5 researchprojects a year how: Scintillator Experiment, usingQuarknet DAQ board „Kamiokanne“ Web experiments (e.g. triggerhodoscope, polar ship) mainlyacitivities in qualificationandresearchstages Students: projectweeks (1-2 weeks) Teachers: teachersdays supervision: mostlyPhD-studentsandteachers Activities: Cosmic Project* (DESY Zeuthen) Photomultiplier DAQ board Scintillator *sinceDec 2010

  9. Activities: Qualification Stage Students: „spreadingtheirknowledgetoothers“ beingtutorsin masterclasses, cosmic-experimentsgivingtalksaboutparticlephysicsin theirschoolguidingin exhibitions; helpwithoutreach-activities… evenholding a masterclassthemselves Teachers: „organizingparticlephysicsprojects“organizingmasterclasses, cosmic-projectspreparationofmasterclasses

  10. Activities: CERN Workshops andProject Weeks (CERN, partiallywith German Teachers Program) Students: 60 participants in twoannualworkshops (3 days) 10 participants in projectweeks(ownresearchprojects) Teachers: 60 participants in twoannualworkshops (5 days) CERN-Workshops are a bigmotivationforactivities in thequalificationstageandveryeffectivetrainingforteachersin modern physics

  11. Activities: Research Projects Students: researchprojectsfor 3-10 months(particleandastroparticlephysics) oftenpartof final schoolexaminations work on ownmeasurements tutors: PhDstudentsandphysicistsatuniversitiesandteachers Teachers: planning: researchprojects in particlephysicsandphysicsteaching currentproblem: lack of physicsteachers in German schools (nochancetotakesabbaticals)

  12. Impressions Excitedparticipantsatthe 1st students‘ CERN-Workshop in November 2010 Testingthenew LHC-ATLAS-W-Data atthe same workshop Teacherswithcosmicexperimentsatthe 1st CERN-Workshop für teachers (with German Teachers Programme) Participantsatthefinalsofthe German Competition „Jugend Forscht“ (astroparticlephysicsproject)

  13. Coordination: Institute forNuclearandParticlePhysics, TU Dresden Workshops: CERN, German Teachers‘ Programme Context material: DidacticsofPhysics, U Würzburg Scientific Evaluation: DidacticsofPhysics, TU Dresden since 2011: AstroparticleProject: DESY Zeuthen Funding: BMBF (1/2010-1/2013) Patronage: German Physical Society Partner: www.weltderphysik.de Organization & Structure

  14. Local Organisation 24 Institutes in total 19 International Masterclasses 8 Teachers Day 15 AstroparticlePhysics Almost all ParticlePhysics Institutes in Germany around 140 scientistsinvolved !

  15. Lots of people behindthescenes in theorganizationteam… … e.g. at a workshoptodicussthecontextmaterialsat DESY in Zeuthen

  16. Manpower Netzwerk Teilchenwelt* • Kamiokannen • Arnulf QuadtN.N. WHK • Lokal Institutes • 40 ContactPersons+ • ~100 students(honorary) • 2011- Cosmic-Project • Ulrike Behrens / Michael Walter • Carolin Schwerdt 75% • CERN-Workshops • Sascha Schmeling • Gerfried Wiener 70% / 9months • contextmaterials • W.-GentnerStipend • Internet/Multimedia/PR • Jens Kube • Lisa Leander 40% • Project Coordination Assistance • Carmen Leuschel 50% • CoordinationandCommunication • Anne Glück 100% • Project Management • Michael Kobel Synergies: International Masterclasses / IPPOG W.-GentnerStipend/ CERN DiscovertheCosmos / EU • Evaluation • Gesche Pospiech • Kerstin Gedigk 50% (PhD) • ContextMaterials • Thomas Trefzger • Manuela Kuhar 50% *fundedby Netzwerk Teilchenwelt

  21. Network andUsers‘ CommunityIdeasandVisionsforTeachers Sharing theKnowledge usingtheteachers‘ ideasandpotential toimprovecontextmaterialsandevents longterminvolvementofteachers in science (sabbaticals?)  „refreshing“ thescientificexperience usingteachersasinfluencersforthedevelopmentofcurriculae, etc.

  22. Network andusers‘ communityIdeasandVisionsforTeachers Challenges: currentlylots ofchangesgoing on in the German schoolsystem workloadofinterestedteachers sabbaticals: general lack ofphysicsteachers in Germany + adminproblems universities: lack ofcapacitiesandinterestforlocalorganisationofparticipation lack ofstafftocoordinateactivitiesacross Germany

  23. New Idea: Create aTeachers‘ Network improvingparticlephysicsactivitiesforschools: longterminvolvementofteachersatthe top stageofthenetwork (workshops, conferences, communicationplatform, sharedknowledge) scienceprojectsforinterestedteachers nationwideworkshopswithteachersatthe top stageofthenetwork toacknowledge: „modern science“ certificateforschoolswithactiveteachers  Aim: create a „win-win“ situationforstudents, teachers, schools, anduniversities Ideasforthefuture
