Abstract

The Outreach team at Münster University identified that in Germany, students usually decide whether or not to continue their physics education around the age of 15. To address the problem, they focused on students aged 10 to 15 to give them a real insight into particle physics research. They also created the Y-Phi (Young Physicists) outreach group.
