Thanks to Highland Park High School for their Science and Technology Festival!

by Stephen Sekula|Published February 7, 2020

Some of the speaker lineup for a period of the HPHS SciTech Fest.

I am very pleased to have been invited this year to speak at the annual Highland Park High School Science and Technology Festival. I spoke with three periods of students about the life of a traveling particle physicist and what it meant (both from a personal and professional perspective) to discover the Higgs particle. Thanks to the organizers for allowing me to be a part of this incredible event!

  • steve: Indeed! Same for classes with writing or other skills ... ChatGPT offers a chance to do what amounts to the best kind of learning anyway: do it live, do it in class, do it together and share and discuss and struggle. Passive learning can happen outside of class.
