Summer Workshop

Each summer, The University of Oklahoma (OU) and Oklahoma State University (OSU) alternately host a summer workshop for Oklahoma high school science teachers. In these workshops, teachers learn the basics of particle physics and related research at the world's most advanced laboratories, as well as practical activities and data-analysis exercises that can be incorporated into their classrooms.
