Enjoy free-to-download colouring books by the ATLAS Collaboration, ideal for kids (and adults) of all ages! In these books, you'll discover how experiments detect particles, what their properties are, and how scientists are working together to learn more about our Universe.

ATLAS Activity Sheets build upon concepts introduced in the ATLAS colouring books, allowing kids to cement their new understanding of particle physics and explore all-new topics. For ease of printing, these sheets are available in colour and black & white.

A Virtual Visit is a live video connection by a group (typically a classroom) to the ATLAS Experiment at CERN. A guide, who is a scientist or an engineer working on the experiment, meets visitors from the control room or (during planned LHC shutdowns) from the detector underground.

During a Virtual Visit, guides will

• Introduce themselves and describe their work in particle physics.
• Present CERN, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and the ATLAS experiment, including its goals and accomplishments.
• Invite questions from the audience.

We recommend audiences prepare questions ahead of time. This can be facilitated by viewing this introductory video.
