CMS Education and Outreach in Virtual Reality (Please go to Poster Board #78)

POSTER

Abstract

CMS has a long history of using web-based event display software in educational programs for high school students. We will present an immersive virtual reality experience, developed by undergraduate students, that allows participants with any electronic device, including virtual reality headsets, to explore the CMS detector and event displays. This world was developed to support an event reconstruction tutorial for CMS graduate students, and has now been expanded to support a high-school level Z boson discovery activity. We will report our experience using this new outreach tool for a group of 25 high school students in January 2023.
