Description
The workshop has now happened - thanks to all who participated.
A further workshop is planned for 2016. Please email victoria.martin@ed.ac.uk to be added to the list for information.
A free workshop for Scottish physics teachers to learn the new particle physics content of the CfE Higher and Advanced Higher.
The workshop will take place at the University of Edinburgh King's Buildings campus, from Saturday 28th of November from 10am to 6pm. An optional evening dinner will be arranged after the workshop.
The workshop will include:
Short lectures covering the new particle physics content of the CfE Higher and Advanced Higher
Discussion session to discuss and material
Hands-on sessions to try some particle physics research
Networking
The workshop is open to current Scottish physics teachers teaching Higher and/or Advanced Higher. Places are first-come, first-served.
Accomodation for the Friday or Saturday evening can be arranged at a cost of £50 per participant.
