For summer 1999, the selected
high school
teachers would be given their choice to work
in one of three
general areas: D0 Upgrade, ATLAS, or projects
planned for
Jefferson Lab. They could make their choice
depending on
both their interests and strengths. Although
particular
skills beyond enthusiasm and a willingness to
learn are not
necessary, proficiency with computers and programming
could
be an asset when working in areas requiring software
work.
All three of the areas listed
have significant
construction projects physically based at Indiana
University, as well as the resources and facilities
to
effectively contribute to software projects.
It is therefore
planned that the teachers would be resident at
or close to
the university in Bloomington, Indiana. There
would
definitely be trips to Fermilab related to the
D0 project,
and the other two areas may include trips to
CERN or
Jefferson Lab.
Local computing facilities
include many Unix
workstations, Unix servers, Window NT and Linux
PC's,
and Macintoshes. Participants will be provided
with
modern computer terminals and appropriate work
space.
