Today I had another ‘Build Your Own Particle Detector’ event, for the first time at the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich. With about 50 participants to the contest and tons of chats within the seven-hour event, not a bad day ;)
All designs can be found on the BYOPD event page.
As many (though certainly not enough) others, we went to the March for Science in Munich today (have a look, you might find someone you know on this BR.de – pa/dpa picture).
Spent the past two days building a piggy bank in the shape of a lighthouse. It’s supposed to help collect donations to the parents’ council in our kids’ day care centre … let’s see if it works.
We’re slowly getting ready for the Open Day in Garching, taking place on Saturday, 22 October 2016.
Visit us between 11 am and 6 pm or join our free screening of ‘Particle Fever‘ at 6 pm.
We’ll have a great programme, including a BYOPD event, presentations of live events and data from CERN, a cosmic-ray detector, the large ATLAS LEGO model and more …
Today I reached the magic 100 and here’s a little history clip to celebrate!
In case you don’t know what this is about … have a look here.
And feel free to join ;)
