Involving teachers in developing educational exercises

[RaoOfPhysics]

If one of the scopes is education, we would need to involve teachers in developing the educational analysis tools.

I will make a point to go and find either someone in S'Cool Lab and talk about this. OR could someone from HiSPARC/QuarkNet give us some input?

@Tontonis a member of the S'Cool LAB is already present. :-) There is quite some past experience to build upon, esp. since atmospheric muons were often a topic in the teacher programs that my colleagues organized. I can discuss it when I am back next week. Of course, input from other parties would be great, too.
Out of my head: most educational setups try to plot the angular distribution (at least horizontal vs. vertical rates), more advanced ones aim to determine the muon life time

At Nikhef where HiSPARC is organised from we a closely related but separate project called 'Muonlab' which is used to measure the speed and lifetime of muons.

Besides that at HiSPARC we offer some more teaching material.
We have material to explain important physics themes related to cosmic rays called RouteNet, available in Dutch and English.
And more recently we have been working on material to get students to perform research or make them better understand the HiSPARC experiment, this is only available in Dutch, called HiSPARC info pakket.
This is also tied into the jSparc web applications that we produced, which allow each data access via a browser. Moreover, we are producing IPython notebooks to assist/guide students with data analysis using Python.
