Abstract

Exciting scientific results such as the discovery of the Higgs boson offer a great opportunity to engage young people in particle physics. International Particle Physics Masterclasses highlight how high school students across the world can be exposed to real data from CERN's LHC accelerator in a stimulating and productive atmosphere in just a single day.
