6 The main mission of DtC is to fill the portal with teaching scenaria which will be in line with the analy- tical teaching curricula and along the lines of IBSE. This will be done:  Initially by the members of the consortium (demostrators)  Teachers from the summer schools  Teachers from the training workshops  Participants of Contests (we will probably launch contest between members of ATLAS very soon) Renovating the Science teaching

6/29/2016C.Kourkoumelis UoA/IASA16 The CERN mini exhibition per se was rather poor: posters but little hardware We tried to enrich it with whatever hardware was at hard +on-line software We had two terminals with HYPATIA on demo mode +LHC game (a big hit for small ages) + a few PMT’s +few electronics cards made in Greece (PRISMA electronics) +an optical module from NESTOR +++ Comments about the Mini exhibition (1)

6/29/2016C.Kourkoumelis UoA/IASA17 Our plan is to make a few hardware pieces ex a small ATLAS MDT muon chamber from leftover pieces etc and encourage other institutions/experiments to do the same The exhibition is most probably going to Granada for the CERN accelerator school in November and then can travel across Spain if You want (I have talked to few people-CPAN) Can be combined with PATHWAY/DtC activities Comments about the Mini exhibition (2)

 Both EU projects are proceeding in parallel. More involvement of CERN is coming -> a project associate is being hired ATLAS+CMS ??  The IPPOG can profit a lot from the extra resources available-if there is enough coordination Conclusions 186/29/2016C.Kourkoumelis UoA/IASA

Discover the COSMOS Discover the COSMOS (Sept 2011-August 2013) FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES coordination action A few words as an introduction: eScience e-Infrastuctures The project aims to introduce innovative ways to encourage young people into science and scientific careers. This will be achieved engaging teachers and students in eScience through the use of e-Infrastuctures which the consortium has already developed in astronomy and high energy physics,and which will be brought to synergy. 6/29/201621C.Kourkoumelis UoA/IASA
