Description
Summary:The Physics Laboratory of the Hellenic Open University has constructed a small scale and low cost air shower detector suitable for operation inside the classroom or school laboratory (µCosmics detector). In this work we present some of the educational activities foreseen with the µCosmics air shower detector, as well as the assessment of a first attempt to engage high school pupils to experimental procedures of astroparticle physics.
