The students were also given the unique opportunity to explore real-world scientific tools. They observed detectors and scintillation crystals used in dark matter research, and through the use of VR glasses, they virtually stepped inside the Belle detector—a truly immersive experience in modern physics.
This inspiring interaction left the students with a deeper understanding of advanced scientific concepts and a glimpse into the exciting possibilities of a research-driven career in physics.
The Simons Science School in Chemistry and Physics is a one-week program designed for Ukrainian high school students who have demonstrated excellence in science competitions. This initiative aims to nurture their passion for science, introduce them to potential research careers, and inspire them to apply their skills towards shaping the future of Ukraine.
