“…Naturally, the wish is to share this excitement with the general public and in particular with school children, the potentially future generations of scientists. Hence, already in 2010 the International Masterclasses featured a sample of the first LHC data from the ALICE, ATLAS and CMS experiments as detailed in [3][4][5]. These were soon updated, as the analysis progressed, containing a sample of Higgs events.…”

Abstract. An educational activity, the International Particle Physics Masterclasses, was developed by the International Particle Physics Outreach Group with the aim to bring the excitement of cutting-edge particle-physics research into the classroom. Thousands of pupils, every year since 2005, in many countries all over the world, are hosted in research centers or universities close to their schools and become "scientists for a day" as they are introduced to the mysteries of particle physics. The program of a typical day includes lectures that give insight to topics and methods of fundamental research followed by a "hands-on" session where the high-school students perform themselves measurements on real data from particle-physics experiments. The last three years data from the ALICE experiment at LHC were used. The performed measurement "strangeness enhancement" and the employed methodology are presented.

“…Naturally, the wish is to share this excitement with the general public and in particular with school children, the potentially future generations of scientists. During the last two years, the International Masterclasses included measurements of a sample of LHC data from the ALICE, ATLAS and CMS experiments as detailed in [3] and [4]. Educational material, methods and analysis tools were developed for the analysis of the new data and the presentation of the analysis methods.…”

Abstract. The International Particle Physics Masterclasses is an educational activity developed by the International Particle Physics Outreach Group with the aim to bring the excitement of cutting-edge particle-physics research into the classroom. Since 2005, every year, thousands of pupils in many countries all over the world become "scientists for a day" in research centres or universities close to their schools as they are introduced to the mysteries of particle physics. In 2012, 10 000 students from 148 institutions in 31 countries took part in this popular event over a month period. The program of a typical day includes lectures that give insight to topics and methods of fundamental research followed by a "hands-on" session where students perform measurements on real data from particle-physics experiments themselves. The last two years LHC data from the ALICE, ATLAS and CMS experiments were used. A overview of the performed measurements and the employed methodology is presented.

“…Naturally, the wish is to share this excitement with the general public and in particular with school children, the potentially future generations of scientists. Hence, for the past two years, the International Masterclasses featured a sample of these fresh LHC data from the ALICE, ATLAS and CMS experiments as detailed in [2,3]. Educational material, methods and analysis tools have been developed to accommodate the new data.…”
