Students from Barkell Elementary School toured the Cloud Chamber on March 10, 2016, as part of the school’s Great Explorations program. The tour was hosted by Professor Will Cantrell and graduate student Sarita Karki.
In Spring 2016, Physics students and Associate Professor Petra Huentemeyer visited CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, as well as the Max Planck Institute (MPI).
The visit was partially sponsored by the Society of Physics Students (SPS) and the Henes Center for Quantum Phenomena.
