Give students around the world the chance to experience science for real.
What if learning about particle physics could go beyond the classroom? Through Beamline for Schools, students from high schools around the world can take part in an international competition and propose their own particle physics experiment. For the winning teams, the opportunity goes one step further: they can come to a particle physics laboratory and carry out their experiment on a real accelerator beamline at CERN.
This is more than a competition. It is an experience that can change how young people see science and themselves. By developing an experiment, working as a team and engaging directly with professional scientists, students gain a first-hand understanding of how scientific research works. Having the opportunity to see their ideas become a real experiment can build confidence, strengthen problem-solving skills and spark a lasting interest in particle physics and STEM.
Importantly, students from all over the world are eligible to participate, regardless of where they live or whether they have access to advanced scientific facilities at their school. This makes Beamline for Schools a unique opportunity to bring the excitement of cutting-edge research to young people far beyond CERN.
Your donation helps make that opportunity possible. It supports the competition and the students taking part, helping to create an experience that can inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers and innovators. By giving young people the chance to ask questions, test their ideas and experience particle physics firsthand, you are helping them discover not only how science works, but what they themselves are capable of achieving.
Donate today and help put the world’s next generation of scientists at the heart of discovery.
