On April 18th, the Grade 10 class was given the opportunity to video chat with Dr. William Trischuk, Director of the Canadian Institute of Particle Physics on location at CERN particle accelerator in Switzerland. Dr. Trischuk has worked on the CERN for several years and was able to answer
many of our questions about the project. He taught us about the main aims of the project, plans for the future, and the basic physics behind subatomic particles and the Higgs Boson. He also gave us information on how to further get involved in the field of physics in high school and university. Talking with Dr. Trischuk was a very interesting and informative experience; the Grade 10s would like to thank Ms. Earley for
organizing this activity.
