Urknall Unterwegs: a mobile LHC exhibition in Germany
Institute outreach efforts usually leave out people who don’t have an inherent interest in the subject to start with. The proposed solution is a mobile outdoor exhibition that travels to locations frequented by the public, such as marketplaces, parks, and public squares.

Cosmic@Web – Astroparticle learning platform for students
A number of simple experiments were developed at the DESY Zeuthen campus. Data from these experiments are published on the Cosmic@Web learning platform, along with a range of online analysis tools and introductory material. In addition to local experiments, data are provided from a global network of continuously-operating cosmic particle experiments.

Engaging Young Minds with Particle Physics
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)…

Exographer, a videogame based on particle physics
Exographer is an exploration game based on particle physics. In Exographer, players use gluonic boots or a photon sphere to overcome obstacles while discovering, one by one, all the elementary particles of the Standard Model. The levels are inspired by real laboratories (giant colliders and detectors, neutrino underground facilities, cosmic ray observatories…). A lost civilization…
