Science Fairs• A yearly national science festival• Aimed towards elementary school
and general public• 2008 participation with the following
activities:– Science market in Oslo – Physicists
explained the worlds mysteries and LHC – Research project in Bergen with School (~12
year), they studied particles and forces between them
• The mini Big Bang
– Stand-up scientist in Oslo (evening show):
• LHC, does it create doomsday? And if not what is the point?

Fair in Oslo
The EPF group in Oslo was responsible for the Physics Department booth during Oslo Science Fair, 19 – 20 Sept. 2008
Oslo Science Fair - part of the National Science Week in Norway
Title: What are you made of?
The booth was dedicated to LHC and ATLAS
Activity: we generated weight certificates telling what one is made of down to the most fundamental particles
Science market in Oslo

Astrofestival
• Yearly since 1999, November, project leader M.Baziljevich
– Aimed primarily at children– Learn about the planets and stars
• and all sorts of other exciting science • Physics, chemistry,
biology– Roughly 6000 participants
