The discovery of the Higgs Boson was one of the most important scientific breakthroughs of the century, but could you have discovered it for yourself? In a series of fast paced, exciting and innovative games, you'll get the chance to find out and see if you have what it takes to control the infamous Large Hadron Collider and become a cutting edge particle physicist! Expect physical, mental and app based games, explosions, particle collisions, jokes and more!
Do you have what it takes to Hunt The Higgs?
This talk is for Key Stage 3 Students, aged 11-14, and is a one-off event taking place in the Cavendish Laboratory on 19th November at 10:00, 12:00, and 14:00 -

DR SAM GREGSON
My scientific passion really ignited as a particle physicist AND science communicator at the University of Cambridge and the Large Hadron Collider Beauty (LHCb) experiment at CERN, Switzerland (thesis analysis).
Now I want to bring the joys of science and critical reasoning to everyone: young and old, rich and poor, scientific veteran or beginner. I aim to do it with a sense of open minded wonder, a hint of comedy, and with as much engagement and interactivity as I can muster. It’s important to get people thinking scientifically and doing science for themselves!
We live in a world fractured along lines of ideology, politics, race and many other factors. I truly believe that an understanding of science, critical reasoning and an ability to determine the objective facts behind complex issues is the best way to bring us closer together!
