<!-- Replace default by booking form content --><p>The University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) was formed on 1st January 2004 as a result of the merger between the University of Durban-Westville and the University of Natal. The new University brought together the rich histories of both former universities which encompass disadvantage and advantage respectively.</p>
<p>During the "Be a Scientist for a Week" program high school learners in their final two years of school will have the opportunity to spend a week at either the Westville, or Pietermaritzburg campus of the University of Kwazulu-Natal. The Westville campus will host approximately 30 students who were the top achievers in mathematics and science from the 20 feeder schools to the university. In order to foster their appreciation for science and assist the students to explore the wide variety of scientific endeavors available to them they will spend blocks of 3 hours hosted by research groups in physics, chemistry, environmental science, mathematics, geology, biological sciences, and computer science.</p>
<p>Within the physics department students will follow the masterclasses program where they will be given an introduction to particle physics, the LHC and the ATLAS Experiment, before having the chance to analyse real LHC data. Their session will end with the virtual visit to the ACR. The university has recently hired its first faculty member in particle physics..</p>

This experience will further student involvement in STEM disciplines. Students will be introduced to the Standard Model of particles, the ATLAS Experiment, and the Large Hadron Collider. Students will also have the opportunity to analyze and compare data from the ATLAS experiment and summarize the fundamental facts around the Higgs boson discovery. At the end of this activity students will interact with scientists by asking questions about the experiment. William Floyd High School is also involved in the International Physics Masterclass organized by the European Particle Physics Outreach Group.</p>

<!-- Replace default by booking form content --><p>This ATLAS Virtual Visit features Middle School at Parkside students from Mrs. Weatherwax's seventh grade science class. Students will be introduced to the ATLAS Experiment, the LHC, and basic particle physics. Students will also have the opportunity to ask questions about how the experiment relates to topics covered in their seventh grade science lessons on atoms. The Middle School at Parkside is a public school located in Jackson, Michigan, United States of America. The Parkside core curriculum consists of instruction in Math, Science, Social Studies, Literacy, and English. Additionally, Parkside is a NASA Explorer School (since 2006). The NASA Explorer Schools Program provides opportunities for educators and students to become involved in the excitement of NASA research, discoveries, and missions, while incorporating Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and into education. This ATLAS Virtual Visit will further student involvement in STEM topics and careers.</p>
