IceCube After School Event
Working with high schoolers to make a replica IceCube Detector.
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a particle detector located at the South Pole. Leveraging about a cubic kilometer of ice, the detector is designed to detect and better understand neutrinos.
Working with local high school students, we built a scale replica of IceCube to display in the Physics Ingersoll Museum. Our students were divided into 4 teams: Hardware, Software, Computer-aided design (CAD), and Marketing, with each team being headed by a graduate student. I headed the CAD team, and together, we built a 3D replica of the scale model to document our physical work and promote reproducibility in case future universities and high schools would like to create their own models.
