Education Competitions 2014 and 2012

Education Competition 2014

The 2014 prize winners displayed their education experiments and display tools at the 2015 Annual Meeting in Engelberg, see Photo Gallery 2015. These experiments have subsequently been used in a number of exhibitions and schools visits: Scientifica 2015, ETH Zürich and Uni Zürich, September 4 - 6, 2015, the ETH Physics Teachers Day, 13 November 2015 and Festiscience, 23 April 2016

The winners were:
Martin Huppert, Wörner Group, Pendulum-Clock-Laser, a mechanical model for mode-locking and wave-packets (First prize)
Dr. Adrien Chauvet, Chergui Group, Solar Stirling Engine: with enhanced heat-collection via nano-particles (Second prize)
Cornelia Hofmann, Keller Group, Intuitive Classical Model for Laser-induced over the barrier ionization (Third Prize)

The education tools were shown during the poster session, and each winner gave a short presentation to the MUST community on their idea, and the realization of their experiment.
