Just before the whole COVID019 situation, students in the high-energy-physics group at Humboldt University Berlin put together their copy of the ATLAS LEGO model – one of more than 60 copies all over the world.
Build Your Own Particle Detector at Home
Given the unique situation in various countries worldwide caused by the corona pandemic, we are hosting a BYOPDatHome online / social media competition.
As usual we want you to create and name a design for a particle detector as you, your family and kids would imagine it.
Only this time we want you to post your designs on either Instagram or Twitter.
Find some more information and all the details to join the competition on the competition page.
Updated labels for the ATLAS LEGO model

I have recently updated the labels to put along with the original ATLAS LEGO model.
Three different labels are available in English and German, and I’ve just added a Japanese version for the overview label. If you need a label in your language, just let me know (and maybe help me translate them).
