Art to Science is a part of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics (JINA) engagement program focused at elementary school level children (Grades 2-6). It introduces them to basic concepts in physics like energy, forces, and atoms. The program includes opportunities for children to both learn and participate in fun activities like arts and crafts. JINA’s Art to Science program introduces children to the wonders of the physical universe! Projects utilize a multidisciplinary approach to learning. Scientists bring one of our successful camp projects to homeschool groups, classrooms and after school programs. For more information contact Micha Kilburn at mkilburn@nd.edu

Quarknet
QuarkNet is a program which brings high school students and teachers into contact with particle physics at a very interactive and appropriate level. High school students can take on research in ongoing experiments with University researchers both undergraduate and educators. These students take an active role and will help complete a research project during their time in the program. The program also has online opportunities available to both educators and students. These include e-Labs and online Masterclasses which give the student or educator an easy entry into particle physics. If you have any questions about these programs, are curious to find out more, or are anxious to sign up, send an email to Prof. M. Wayne (mwayne@nd.edu) or go to https://quarknet.i2u2.org.
