CERN and Science in Africa
Earlier this year the BBC organised a \u2018science festival\u2019 in Uganda. One of the practical outcomes of this was to put physics teachers in East Africa in touch with physicists involved in the Higgs boson discovery at CERN. As a result, several teachers from the region visited CERN and took part in their international teacher programmes.
In Discovery this week we look at the impact of their visit and ask how international \u2018big science\u2019 projects such as CERN can offer practical development help \u2013 especially in sub Saharan Africa.
