Education and Outreach at LEPP
Enrichment programming at local schools
The public outreach mission of the Laboratory for Elementary-Particle Physics is to increase the scientific literacy of the community by cultivating excitement and understanding in the realm of physical science. The outreach program bridges the scientific community to the general public through the distribution of educational materials, the sponsoring of various physics related events and by providing meaningful side-by-side interactions to students of all ages in an effort to foster life-long learning.
