Oslo Outreach Activities Experience: The CERN Exhibition: • It was attracting people, • but it needed some explanation. It functioned at it's best when there was a person there to explain and talk with the visitors. • Practical issues: • Not too difficult to put up. We managed to move it on our own. • Some problems with the security for the screens, specially the plasma screen. • CERN posters: easy to print with good resolution. • One could choose to print only a selection of them. • EPOG 10. 28. 04 – 10. 29. 04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo

Oslo Outreach Activities The “hands-on” things attracted most attention – compared to the different multi media presentations (CERN presentations, PCs) • The visitors, specially the young don't have time and patience to stay before a screen. • They are more difficult to impress. • • Most popular: Cloud chamber • simple and “live”, • it has something to do with the space. EPOG 10. 28. 04 – 10. 29. 04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo

Oslo Outreach Activities The visitors were impressed by the SAT detector – WHAT is that? • And the Atlas model – but again, it needed explanation. • EPOG 10. 28. 04 – 10. 29. 04 K. Pajchel, University of Oslo
