The final adjustments to our extremely nice ATLAS LEGO tent have just finished.
On about 50 square meters there are three large tables covered by about 30 kilograms of random LEGO pieces, both ATLAS LEGO models on display, various posters about the models and physics on the walls, a large 2×2 46″ video wall showing the model-vs-detector-timelapse video and more … it’s going to be fun!
It’s best you pass by for yourself to have a look 🙂
Only ten days left until the doors open for the 2013 CERN Open Days.
Over the weekend 28/29 September 2013, BYOPD will be part of the ATLAS activities in its own tent behind The Globe of Science and Innovation. We have recruited 42 helpers that will help to manage the competition and talk about physics and the ATLAS experiment at the same time.
The ATLAS model(s) will be on display and we’ll show various movies related to ATLAS and the model(s) on a large screen throughout the weekend.
Each day, we’ll be there from 9:00 to 20:00.
Today we had ten high school students from the Sankt Annæ Gymnasium visiting the Niels Bohr Institute to learn a bit (more) about particle physics in general, the ATLAS experiment in particular and to re-build the original Niels Bohr Institute ATLAS LEGO model.

This week the LEGO Cuusoo Fall 2013 Review has started!
After our huge success in getting the 10k supporters in almost no time (mostly thanks to IFLS), LEGO now started the official review process for our ATLAS mini model (and six other designs).
So now we in fact enter the exciting phase where LEGO has to decide whether they like the idea of a particle physics outreach programme in their collection. Let’s hope they do!!
If you have questions about the selection process, please have a look at the topmost link and links therein.
Today we finished building both the large and the small ATLAS model in Bergen, Norway.
