3. Kris Whelan-AGU 2005 QuarkNet The primary education program for US-ATLAS and US-CMS, large scale experiments Developing a research community of physicists, high school teachers & their students Engaging teachers & subsequently students in scientific investigations

4. Kris Whelan-AGU 2005 Goals of QuarkNet/Grid Students participate in a scientific collaboration and make real contributions to a scientific field. Students use virtual data tools and techniques to upload, access, process and publish data, report their results as online poster, and have online discussions about their work with peers. Educational researchers evaluate the effectiveness of such an endeavor. Grid specialists explore interface designs that enhance accessibility to Grid data and computational resources.

19. Kris Whelan-AGU 2005 We have users! 243 teachers 240 high schools 259 student research groups 10 4 analyses performed since May 2005 200 detectors in high schools (with CROP) 70 more detectors ready soon

20. Kris Whelan-AGU 2005 Grid work is bleeding-edge and harder than it looks. Professional development for teachers is critical. Developers must work within technical constraints of schools. It’s premature to understand how the Grid enhances education. We have lessons!
