Today we started “ATLAS & Me”, your chance to ‘socialise’ with BYOPD and ATLAS.
We would like you to post pictures of you and one of the ATLAS brick models on our Facebook page (facebook.com/BuildYourOwnParticleDetector)!
Those of you with the most likes in a given month can win an ATLAS 3D viewer and will be featured on our web site.
Find more details on our ATLAS & Me page.
We’ll be present at the Science Night in Garching (close to Munich) on 27 June 2015!
Looking forward to see you at the Institute for Advanced Study, right next to the subway station.
Particle physics is back on Lego ideas (formerly Cuusoo) and we need your help to outdo the success of the little ATLAS LEGO model.
Please help us in getting 10k votes for Nathan Readioff’s miniature designs of all four LHC experiments.

The ATLAS group at University of Oslo has just finished building their ATLAS brick model and documented it with a very nice time-lapse movie.
After members of the group already helped with the sorting of the pieces at CERN, now students as well as professors took part in the construction of the model in Oslo. Though the group has experience in manufacturing parts of the actual ATLAS detector, building the 50:1 scale model still took more than 30 man hours in total.
