ATLAS Virtual Visits
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.
Group Virtual Visits
Groups of at least 10 visitors (such as classrooms) can schedule their own visit by completing this form.
Upcoming Virtual Visits
La scuola organizza una visita virtuale al CERN (Organizzazione Europea per la Ricerca Nucleare), con l’obiettivo di approfondire e rendere più concreti alcuni concetti affrontati nel programma di Fisica. La visita rappresenta un’importante occasione per avvicinare gli studenti alla ricerca scientifica contemporanea e alla metodologia sperimentale.
The National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) is a not-for-profit organisation that runs immersive programs to encourage young people to pursue their passion for STEM. Through our programs each year, we engage with 500+ high school students and early career STEM professionals from across Australia. Our flagship program, the NYSF Year 12 Program, takes place each January in Canberra and Brisbane, giving participants opportunities to engage in an exciting range of STEM visits, lectures, networking events and social activities.
This visit is offered to those who participated in the the FameLab competition for science communication, promoted by the CERN Social Media.
