International Masterclasses
Hands on Particle Physics
Description
The “International Particle Physics Masterclasses” provide an opportunity for high school students to be "scientists for a day". 
15- to 19-year-old students in countries around the whole world are invited to one of about 100 nearby universities or research centres for one day in order to take part in an authentic research process.
At the end of each day, like in an international research collaboration, the participants join in a video conference for discussion and combination of their results. 
History
Particle Physics Masterclasses began in 1997 in the United Kingdom.
The European Program started in 2005, the World Year of Physics, and has grown constantly since then. 
In 2006 American students participated for the first time, later on South Africa, Brazil and Israel joined in.
The program is organized and run by Michael Kobel of the Technical University in Dresden, Germany, in the framework of the International Particle Physics Outreach Group IPPOG.
