U.S. Student Journalism Program

April 2-7, 2008

High schools submitted proposals to send a team of three students and a teacher to report on the LHC startup. The six selected teams had all major expenses paid.

The student/teacher teams learned about the LHC, ATLAS and CMS experiments by interviewing physicists and engineers and seeing the experiments up close.

Teams were news reporters to students in their home communities and across the US. These high school journalists shared the excitement with many others via blogs, websites, and videos.
