Phantom Physics: The Quest for the Hidden Particle

October 18 at 10am EDT on Zoom

(16:00 GMT+2 in Geneva, Switzerland)

THIS EVENT HAS RUN.

CHECK OUT THE FREE PHANTOM PHYSICS COURSE ON HOW TO RUN THIS IN YOUR CLASSROOM.

We hope you will join us next year during STEM Week!


Join us for an exciting online adventure:
Quantum Manor is a grand, mysterious mansion where Dr. Anna Lysis Quark, a renowned particle physicist, once lived. Rumor has it that she discovered a ‘hidden particle’ that could answer unsolved mysteries of the universe, but it vanished with her. Participants need to take on the role of scientists to unlock clues that teach basic physics knowledge while revealing the location of the particle. This is a Zoom-based interactive adventure for ages 8-10 that runs 30 minutes.
This is a free an online event funded by Mass STEM Week for ages 8-10

How it works:

  1. Register below by October 17th.  There are limited spots so be sure to register ASAP.
  2. Teachers: You may register as a student and project the screen on your board (in presentation mode), then allow your class to vote on their next move. In this case, we will not need all of your students to register, just you.
  3. Students: You will be emailed instructions with the Zoom link. Teachers only: If Zoom is unavailable to your school, let us know what conference platform you can use.
  4. Make sure to have your name display on Zoom be the same as your registered Student name or you may not be admitted to the event.
  5. You should have some comfort in navigating Zoom reactions and turning on and off your mic. Parents can assist if a student is struggling with the controls.
  6. If you are more than 5 minutes late, you may not be accepted into the event as the game will begin promptly.
  7. You do not need to know any physics in order to participate
  8. If we have a teacher register an entire class as a presentation, we will attempt to find a date/time for your class only.

If you have questions  contact us via our website. Are you an educator?  Fee free to share this page so parents can register their students in your class if they are attending individually instead of in presentation mode.
In order to participate, please fill out the form below no later than Tuesday, October 17th.  There are limited spots available on each day so please register soon.

This game was developed through a Massachusetts STEM Week grant from the Northeast STEM Network and with materials and permission from CERN.
