- IceCube hosts 10-week virtual high school program with Marquette, SDSMT, WIPAC
Since 2013, the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center (WIPAC) has hosted afterschool internships at least once a year to provide high school students in the Madison area the opportunity to work on real-world physics experiments. Through the internship, participating students have been able to meet working astrophysicists, learn computer-programming skills, and contribute to data analysis and outreach efforts. But with much of the world still shut down from COVID-19 at the end of last year, WIPAC decided to pivot online. The result was “IceCube After School,” a 10-week virtual interactive program for high school students interested in coding, design, and […] - Happy Valentine’s Day! Love, IceCube
