ATLAS Virtual Visits
A Virtual Visit is a live video connection by a group (typically a classroom) to the ATLAS Experiment at CERN. A guide, who is a scientist or an engineer working on the experiment, meets visitors from the control room or (during planned LHC shutdowns) from the detector underground.
During a Virtual Visit, guides will
- Introduce themselves and describe their work in particle physics.
- Present CERN, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and the ATLAS experiment, including its goals and accomplishments.
- Invite questions from the audience.
We recommend audiences prepare questions ahead of time. This can be facilitated by viewing this introductory video.
Group Virtual Visits
Groups of at least 10 visitors (such as classrooms) can schedule their own visit by completing this form.
Upcoming Virtual Visits
This ATLAS virtual visit is a part of Ireland's STEAM Space Day, tailored for Transition Year students aged 15-16. Among them are participants of our esteemed Space Messengers program, conducted in collaboration with the STEMArts Lab in New Mexico. Other students are enthusiastic members of the school's STEM Girls initiative. Notably, the Space Messengers had the privilege of interviewing Steven Goldfarb about his groundbreaking work, setting the stage for an inspiring exploration into science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.
The visit is to allow our undergraduate students to see what is obtainable in your institution and also to broaden our student's understanding of different aspects of Physics.
This virtual visit is for ASU Preparatory Academy Digital Chemistry and Physics students attending a Live Lesson on 5/6. During this event, they will visit the ATLAS experiment at the LHC.
This virtual visit to the ATLAS experiment at CERN is part of the High school physics students' trip to Westmont College, an ATLAS associate member, for an interactive day of physics demonstrations.
Open Virtual Visits
We also schedule periodic open visits that can be joined by individuals or small groups. You can find them in the list on this page. Select the Open Virtual Visit of the date/time/language that best fits, click on it and register.
