10. Oslo Outreach Activities Experience: The CERN Exhibition: It was attracting people, but it needed some explanation. It functioned at it's best when there was a person there to explain and talk with the visitors. Practical issues: Not too difficult to put up. We managed to move it on our own. Some problems with the security for the screens, specially the plasma screen. CERN posters: easy to print with good resolution. One could choose to print only a selection of them. EPOG 10.28.04 – 10.29.04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo

11. Oslo Outreach Activities The “hands-on” things attracted most attention – compared to the different multi media presentations (CERN presentations, PCs) The visitors, specially the young don't have time and patience to stay before a screen. They are more difficult to impress. Most popular: Cloud chamber simple and “live”, it has something to do with the space. EPOG 10.28.04 – 10.29.04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo

12. Oslo Outreach Activities The visitors were impressed by the SAT detector – WHAT is that? And the Atlas model – but again, it needed explanation. EPOG 10.28.04 – 10.29.04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo
