Abstract

When the education and outreach project of ATLAS, a leading experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, was initiated in 1995, we wanted to share the drama and excitement in the exploration and discovery of new science. The goal was to make these fascinating stories understandable and available to everybody and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. The education and outreach material included classroom activities, an extensive website, videos, a YouTube channel, social media, a planetarium show, and materials related to search for and discovery of the Higgs Boson.
