Physics Theorynet

Bringing scientists into your classroom

How Theorynet works:

Teachers need no background in particle physics: they invite physicists to visit their classes and propose a format: it may be a formal presentation on a scientist's research topics, on the material currently studied in class or a Q&A session answering curiosity-based questions, or a career day type event like "What is like to be a scientist?"

Physicists do all the rest of the work.

Teachers and physicists are paired as teams for 2-3 semesters

Teams meet with whole Theorynet group of 20 physicists and teachers one or two times per semester and develop a learning community

Physicists visit the classroom, can also arrange "guest star" visitors
