Discover how particle detectors are used in experiments at CERN — and even in space —through an exciting adventure game!

Aerospace and particle physics share many similarities. Both require electronics that can operate in extreme environments, and both must process vast amounts of data quickly and autonomously. Did you know that one of CERN's particle detectors is actually on board the International Space Station?

In this workshop, participants solve puzzles while exploring the electromagnetic spectrum with different detectors. They gain insight into the wide-ranging applications of detector technologies, which extend far beyond the terrestrial laboratories to the frontiers of space exploration.
