Since October 2018, school students from ‘Colegio Altamonte’ have been taking measurements using the Cosmic Ray Telescope that was developed as part of the ACT 1406 Anillo project. After one month of measurements they gave a presentation with their results. 8 different students also gave presentations about different subjects related to cosmic rays.
More pictures regarding this activity can be found in the Gallery section of the webpage.
On Decmeber 12, as part of the anillo ACT 1406 project, 3 talks were given in one of Viña del Mar’s most emblematic schools, Colegio Winterhil. The talks were given to groups of young kids (7yo – 9yo) and were about the ATLAS Experiment. As part of the activity, a coloring book about the ATLAS experiment was given to each one of the kids. It was a great success and the kids seemed to be very interested about science and the particles of the Universe.

A succesful workshop about the electronics inside particle detectors was conducted at UTFSM, where Professor Serguei Kuleshov (Phd), who is director of the Anillo Project ACT1406, was the main speaker, giving a talk about Electronics in High Energy Physics of Nuclear Electronics.
El día martes 4 de Septiembre, se realizó una jornada de difusión científica a través del proyecto anillo ACT 1406, donde alumnos del colegio Altamonte visitaron el Laboratorio de Detección de partículas del la UTFSM. Se les realizó una guía de todo el laboratorio y se hizo una presentación del Telescopio de rayos cósmicos, con con el cual estarán trabajando durante los próximos meses como parte del área de difusión del proyecto anillo.
El evento fue resaltado por la prensa, como se puede ver en el siguiente artículo:
