The imposing structure of the CERN Science Gateway has been likened to a space station. In fact, it was CERN's technical buildings and underground tunnels that served as inspiration for chief architect Renzo Piano. Three pavilions and two tubes house exhibits, hands-on laboratories, artwork, a 900-seat auditorium, shops and restaurants, all connected by a 220m-long bridge, and are home to 400 trees and 13,000 trees. surrounded by shrubs. 2,000 m with virtually zero carbon footprint2 Solar panels installed on the roof of the pavilion will provide all the energy needed, while feeding 40% back into the CERN grid. The Gateway is free to enter, open every day of the year except Monday, and can welcome up to 500,000 visitors a year of all ages.
We believe in reaching out as widely as possible
The following article, with expert commentary and opinions, provides an overview of the CERN Science Gateway. In addition to input from the team behind the content, we'll explore the breadth surrounding the theory and practice of education, communication, and outreach in particle physics, starting with what these three terms mean today (from space to the classroom). explore the problems. While exploring the Gateway's exhibition space, the author discusses his four stunning art installations (“A Collision of Beautiful Hearts”), the secret to a successful interactive exhibition (“Interactive Exhibits: Theory and Practice”), and the object's Consider simple forces (“object forces”). After a deep dive into the new teaching lab (Practice, Thinking, and Wearing Goggles!), CERN's Physics Education Research (Why Research Education?), The Impact of the Hugely Popular Teacher Program (Inspiring People), How particle physics is or is not integrated into the school curriculum (Particle Physics in the School Curriculum). From empowering children to pursue science (empowering children to pursue science), to taking physics to festivals (going where there are crowds), to breaking down physical and neurological boundaries. Three articles emphasize the importance of reaching beyond (expanding your senses). And as wide as possible. Last but not least, we consider the valuable role that physicists play (physicists act directly and time for upgrades) and weave his extensive experience of CERN guides throughout these articles. is. Feeling inspired? A lovely red science gateway vest is waiting for you!
