Northern Site Education and Outreach

• My goal for the workshop is to write draft text (with help) which could become a chapter in a Northern Site Preliminary Design Report. Note: original Design Reports had no outreach chapter.

• This exercise will be useful for several reasons:• Text can form the basis of funding proposals for Auger Education and Outreach, whether stand-alone or integrated with more comprehensive proposals for the Observatory• Help us understand how to enhance Southern Site outreach efforts• Help us understand costs associated with enhanced and expanded outreach activities in South and North

Text Organization

• Description and experiences with education/outreach efforts since the beginning of the Observatory. Focus on the Southern Site, lessons learned. (3 pages)

• Capitalizing on what we have started in Colorado (2 pages)

• Design of an effective, comprehensive outreach program for the future of the Observatory, North and South (5 pages)

Southern Site Outreach Summary

• Lots of written material to draw from: ICRC2001 and 2005 proceedings, bi-monthly reports

• Highlight main efforts, successes: Visitor center and statistics, public talks, school visits, teacher training workshops, Auger Science Fair, Malargüe Day parade participation, Eureka museum exhibit, Michigan Tech scholarship program, JWC school

• Summarize professional impact study for some of the lessons learned. Example: People living “south of the clock” do not know what the Observatory is doing, why we are in Malargüe.

What we have started in SE Colorado

• We have established a strong connection with Lamar Community College, the Southeastern Colorado Enterprise Development (SECED), and the regional education community

• Several collaborators have visited schools and given talks to civic groups

• We have started to collect materials and displays for a temporary Visitor Center at LCC

Northern Site Outreach

Things we learned from visitors to the Science Fair

• The Auger Observatory is quite well known in SE Colorado

• People are anxious to learn more and get involved “Please put a tank on our property!”

• Teachers are interested in Auger outreach initiatives in their schools

• Overall, we judge EARLY and CONTINUING outreach efforts to the communities and schools to be very important to our success in the North

Proposal of new names for the North and SouthVisitor Centers

• That’s what we want people to do there: learn• Enhances our ability to secure funding• Improvements discussed for South: cloud chamber or spark chamber, large flat monitor for photo collections, kiosks for short videos and interactive animations

Cosmic Ray Observatory Project (CROP) in Nebraska

In early January, Rebecca Burke drove from Lincoln to Lamar witha carload of 4 scintillators/PMTs, extension cables, high voltagesupply from CROP’s inventory.

Exercises with Auger data, publicly available

• We would like to initiate a project to make Auger data, properly distilled and sanitized, for use in classroom exercises

• Teacher input needed to develop exercises that match their curriculum needs
