On April 5, 2019, QuarkNet teachers and students gathered on the Fermilab campus to work on a project related to the MINOS experiment.
Students from Cowherd Middle School visit Fermilab on Oct. 5, 2017.
Missing visits to the museum? Or in need of some home-school activities? Check out these five do-it-yourself physics demos from Ketevan Akhobadze, an exhibit developer for the Lederman Science Center at Fermilab.
The Scientific Computing Services Quadrant had great success this year attracting a record number of interns to work on interesting projects. We’ve been working with more than 10 students from TARGET, the University Of Chicago, QuarkNet, SIST, CCI and Italian graduate student programs.
Fermilab runs several vibrant programs aimed at educating students of all ages in all of our myriad technical endeavors, be they scientific, engineering or computational. All departments participate in these programs, but the CMS Department was especially luckily this summer. We were able to attract over a dozen exceptional young interns who participated in a broad swath of CMS activities, spanning analysis, detector upgrades and computer infrastructure.
The girls received hands-on experience of what it’s like to work in a national lab in engineering, computing or physics and parents had a tour through the lab installations.
2018 Summer Intern Poster Session THURSDAY August 9, 2018 3 – 5 p.m. Wilson Hall 2nd Floor crossover Students from all over the world come to Fermilab every summer to learn about the process of research from laboratory staff. They advance the laboratory’s mission and gain valuable educational experience that they can take with them when they leave. This year as part of their deliverables, the interns will participate in a poster session to showcase what they learned here….
The course gives participants a good grasp of the reconstruction process, called particle flow, that leads to the identification of each final state particle in a CMS event.
For two weeks, 50 students from around the world studied detectors and sensors with Fermilab experts.
