Physicists Inspiring the Next Generation (PING): Exploring the Nuclear Matter 2019
Participant Testimonials
- “My time at Michigan State University was a wonderful and enriching learning experience.”
- “The main task of which included building a Parallel Plate Avalanche Chamber (PPAC) Detector … Aiding us along the way were Physicists and graduate students, who helped point out our errors, guided us, and gave us positive new and informative feedback.“
- “If we had more time for improvements, it would focus mainly on the Mylar foil and having it stretched properly. Also, we’d have been able to prepare ourselves for different unpredicted outcomes.“
- “Before going to Michigan state I was very lost about what I wanted to do but during my week at MSU it helped me finalize my decision which is Biochemistry . The best components were the lab and being on campus for a week ... The lab gave me an experience to work with different people and work with expensive materials while building a detector.”
- “While being there I improved a lot with time management with having to finish a project in a week. Also I improved with working with people with a difficult project which gave me a lot of patience. This experience changed my life and I’m very thankful for it.”
- “On the trip, we explored the world of isotopes and built our very own Parallel Plate Avalanche Chamber (PPAC).”
- … we were able to explore the campus of MSU and see how it fit into our individual career plans, as well as talk to students about their experiences and goals.”
