S’Cool LAB is a Physics Education Research facility at CERN. It offers high school students and their teachers the chance to take part in hands-on & minds-on particle physics experiment sessions on-site at CERN.
Participating in S'Cool LAB activities enables teachers to give their students a glimpse of life and work in a world-leading international research institute. By getting hands-on with physics in S'Cool LAB, students can make discoveries independently, learn to work scientifically and apply their knowledge in a new setting. Students also have the chance to engage directly with members of CERN's scientific community.
S'Cool LAB currently offers two types of workshops for groups of high-school students:
- S'Cool LAB Cloud Chambers: High school students build their own particle detectors using simple equipment in this 90-minute hands-on workshop.
- S'Cool LAB PLUS+: High school groups contribute to CERN's education research by taking part in hands-on particle physics experiment sessions.
