Quality education

Description

Our project is an educational tool aimed to middle school and high school
students. We imagined a game in which the user goes through the CERN tunnels trying to
answer the question "What are we made of?". The user will meet physicists along the way,
get some clues and hints and try to get from the atom to the Higgs boson

Goals of the project

The goal is to make young people interested in science. This game could be used by teachers.

Skills being sought

Coding, web developement basic physics background researching
