material used also at other occasions: teacher's day, local Masterclasses, Quark Net ...
4. MasterClass used for other occasions:
Yiota to Find out
- put in Laptops (Henning Buessing from Frankfurt; Bleicher, find info) and going to schools
- teacher day etc
every year data sample is enriched

ATLAS and CMS added Higgs events
http://physicsmasterclasses.org/index.php?cat=press
Existing exercises developed into new ones (e.g. LHCb exercise with D0 decays on the basis of ALICE V0)
extending current Masterclasses for
new experiments: CBM in FAIR
exercise on simulated data of CBM/FAIR
to make students aware of the future experiments
next generation fixed target experiment
and to encourage students' involvement with science
