WINNERS
First Prize #girlsdophysics + #girlsdoparticlephysics Sara Heidari18 years old, IranSara made an experiment with LEDs applying the Ohm’s law: (V/I=R) She built an electronic board with a photocell, a battery, some resistors, LED lights and a switch. When the ambient light increases, the photocell detects and collects it. The current generated causes the resistance to decrease,…

COSMIX
INTRO COSMIX is a project developed at CEN Bordeaux-Gradignan aiming at providing high-school teachers with easy-to-use atmospheric-muon detectors. These detectors enable one to simply and quickly evidence the existence of cosmic rays. They take advantage of the recycling of Cesium iodide scintillator logs (CsI) and their associated electronics, used for tests preceding the launch of…

Cosmic Ray e-Lab Studies
INTRO Cosmic Ray e-Lab Studies: provide opportunities for high school students to conduct their own scientific investigations either with data they collected themselves or with data from their peers. QuarkNet teachers receive a kit to build a portable, configurable classroom detector; non-QuarkNet educators can purchase the DAQ with GPS, antenna and temperature and pressure sensors.…
