Read the report: Particles Zone Report – June 2019 [PDF]

The Particles Zone was a themed zone supported by the Science & Technology Facilities Council and NCOP schools. It featured six scientists:

  • Savannah Clawson, the winner of this zone, studies what happens when we smash particles of light together, using the ATLAS detector and LHC at CERN.
  • Philippe Gambron uses computers to work out what happened during the first moments of the Universe.
  • Lucy Budge is researching what happens when particles are smashed into each other at very high speeds.
  • Joanna Huang is a PhD student learning about particles and the fundamental laws of the universe.
  • Harrison Prosper tries to make sense of nature by colliding protons at the Large Hadron Collider.
  • Edoardo Vescovi is a theoretical physicst developing mathmatical models to measure the forces between particles.

What is I’m a Scientist?

I’m a Scientist, Get me out of here is an online activity where school students get to meet and interact with scientists.

It’s a competition between scientists, where the students are the judges.

Students challenge the scientists over intense, fast-paced, online live Chats. Then they Ask the scientists all the questions they want to, and Vote for their favourite scientist to win a prize of £500 to communicate their work with the public.
