Cazadores de Rayos Gamma is a high energy astrophysics web application where students can analyse data from the MAGIC telescopes using a python programming environment. This outreach application combines a storytelling approach with science and programming challenges for the users. 4 PhD students introduce the user into high energy astrphysics research and the observations and analysis done with the MAGIC telescopes. The user will learn about fundamental physics related to Super Nova Remnants, Black Holes, Dark Matter,… and also about specific astronomical sources such as Casiopea A or the Crab Pulsar. The project was developed at the Institut de Física d’Altes Energies (IFAE) in Barcelona. At the moment only a spanish version is available. But soon it will be translated to other languages.
