Best Questions Ever

I am Ken Cecire and my role in the African School of Physics 2018 was to facilitate Teacher and Learner Workshops. We worked with ~1100 high school learners in 4 days in Windhoek. It was pretty exciting! Learners got hands-on experience with cloud chambers and a cosmic ray detector, organized their own versions of the Standard Model with Particle Cards (originally "Steckbriefe" designed by Netzwerk Teilchenwelt in Germany), took part in "human" demonstrations of accelerator physics, and asked lots of questions. Lots and lot of questions! The best questions are those that made the physicists think and maybe even say, "We just do not know."

I was able to tweet about the experience (@physicsIMC on Twitter; check out this tweet and this one too.) And it was great to use activities from QuarkNet!
