PaGES 8: schools visits at Elettra Sincrotrone
LocationTrieste March 25, 2024
As part of the PaGES 8 project, funded by the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, on 6 and 7 March CERIC welcomed students from the four participating schools to its Italian partner facility, located at Elettra Synchrotron (Trieste).
Students, guided by three researchers (Benedetta Marmiroli, Chiara Stani and Francesco D’Amico) had the opportunity to carry out a real scientific experiment, starting with the preparation of samples and then moving on to analysis, carried out with some of the available instrumentation.
At the same time, pupils visited Elettra’s and Fermi’s beamlines, and were involved in a science communication activity, in which they played the role of CERIC social media managers, trying to narrate the scientific activity that they carried out with texts, images and videos.
Now the project continues, and the students – together with their teachers – will analyse the collected data, in order to produce a scientific report.
