Virtual Visits from Africa
The visit is to allow our undergraduate students to see what is obtainable in your institution and also to broaden our student's understanding of different aspects of Physics.
This virtual visit is a part of the ATLAS Z-path Masterclass organised for 36 high school learners and 5 Science Centre staff. This virtual visit will be the capstone event of the masterclass.
Lycée Liziba is a girls' school in Kinshasa that provides a high-quality education in a safe and nurturing environment. We are committed to helping girls reach their full potential.
The Malaika School is a remarkable institution in the vibrant city of Lubumbashi, in the southeastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. With a noble mission at its core, The Malaika School provides a free lifeline to over 400 girls by offering free, accredited primary and secondary education.
This ATLAS virtual tour is a side activity of the Planetarium Science Center, Bibliotheca Alexandrina, for a group of High School Students participating in the International Physics Masterclasses 2023.
The virtual ATLAS visit, as part of the international Masterclasses program, is designed to give high school students in Ben Guerir, Morocco, a unique opportunity to discover the world of particle physics and the role of the ATLAS experiment in advancing in the understanding of the universe. It will emphasise the collaboration between CERN and the University Mohamed VI Polytechnique and provide an innovative learning experience that combines. The virtual format of the visit makes it accessible to a broader range of students and underscores the importance of international collaboration in scientific research.
This ATLAS virtual visit is intended for the University Cadi Ayyad HEP group as part of the MSc program curriculum and the theoretical particle physics group concerning their LHC physics project.

Particle Physics for Kids is back in 2022! Join Michael Gregory with another exciting program of lectures, visits and experiments from some of the best teachers, scientists and research facilities in the world, including the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. Aimed at kids 12 to 16 years old, all are welcome, including curious adults and teachers. (Roughly one-third of 2021 participants were teachers interested in new ideas for their teaching.) The 2022 season of Particle Physics for Kids will run from February to early May, with approximately one session per week, usually scheduled during the evening in Europe, when most students will be finished with school. For more information, including calendars of upcoming camps, see https://tinyurl.com/VirtualScienceCamp.

<!-- Replace default by booking form content --><p>Scifest Africa, South Africa’s National Science Festival, was established in 1996 to promote the public awareness, understanding and appreciation of science, technology and innovation (STI) in South Africa. The project consists of two components, namely the National Science Festival held in Grahamstown, Eastern Cape in March every year, as well as regional and national outreach programmes implemented throughout the rest of the year. Scifest Africa identifies and designs unique interactive events and educational resources with scientific integrity to advance science, facilitate learning in an informal and non-threatening way, and provide learners with a great opportunity to discover science outside the classroom. Scifest Africa is a project of the Grahamstown Foundation, a not for profit (NPC) and public benefit organisation (PBO). The Foundation’s vision is to enrich the educational and cultural life of the people of South Africa “that all might have life and have it abundantly”. This vision is realised through the implementation science, arts, culture, heritage and tourism projects and events.</p>

Carnarvon
<p> </p>
<!-- Replace default by booking form content --><p>I live and teach in Carnarvon, a very small town in a very dry and sparcely populated area in South Africa. Because of this small population, this is the area where the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) radio telescope is currently being built. However, interest in science is not very high among the students and the community at large. We have established a number of programmmes that we have been running since last year and this year we will be having a science week programme from 22 to 26 August 2016. There will be workshops, talks, tours, movie screenings, competitions and other events throughout the week.</p>

Soweto
<p> </p>
<!-- Replace default by booking form content --><p>National Science Week (4-9 August 2014), is an initiative of the Department of Science and Technology (DST). It is a countrywide celebration of science run in all nine provinces of South Africa simultaneously at multiple sites per province. In particular, Gauteng province regional events will be hosted at the Soweto Science Centre by the University of Johannesburg. The event is expected to be well attended by learners, teachers the media, the general public, policy makers and many stakeholders in the area of Science and Technology. The Soweto Science Centre has made a measurable impact in the academic performance of schools in its feeder region, and it is an increasingly a successful vehicle for science communication. This year, for the first time, the activities will include a virtual tour of ATLAS. The virtual tour will be preceded by public lectures on High Energy Physics at ATLAS.</p>

Kwazulu-Natal
<p> </p>
<!-- Replace default by booking form content --><p>The University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) was formed on 1st January 2004 as a result of the merger between the University of Durban-Westville and the University of Natal. The new University brought together the rich histories of both former universities which encompass disadvantage and advantage respectively.</p>
<p>During the "Be a Scientist for a Week" program high school learners in their final two years of school will have the opportunity to spend a week at either the Westville, or Pietermaritzburg campus of the University of Kwazulu-Natal. The Westville campus will host approximately 30 students who were the top achievers in mathematics and science from the 20 feeder schools to the university. In order to foster their appreciation for science and assist the students to explore the wide variety of scientific endeavors available to them they will spend blocks of 3 hours hosted by research groups in physics, chemistry, environmental science, mathematics, geology, biological sciences, and computer science.</p>
<p>Within the physics department students will follow the masterclasses program where they will be given an introduction to particle physics, the LHC and the ATLAS Experiment, before having the chance to analyse real LHC data. Their session will end with the virtual visit to the ACR. The university has recently hired its first faculty member in particle physics..</p>
