CERN Experiments in Lego model
Credit : BYOPD
Abstract
Lego models are a great way to understand and visualize big experiments. Workshops can be held to design and construct models with pupils and students. While doing so, physicists can take the opportunity to explain the real experiments and the physics pursued with them.
For the ALICE detector, over 100 hours were spent preparing in weekly meetings, plus around two days for building.
