Teachers’ day to bring the Einstein Telescope into the classroom

On Wednesday 4 December, POM Limburg, FWO and the Leuven Gravity Institute organised a teachers’ day especially for STEM and science teachers. It took place in the ThorPark in Genk where the ET-expo, the interactive exhibition about the Einstein Telescope, can also be found.

During the day, dozens of teachers were updated by Daniel Mayerson (Leuven Gravity Institute) and Gideon Koekoek (Maastricht University) on the fascinating world of gravitational waves and the Einstein Telescope. They were given advice and methods to integrate this revolutionary technology into their curriculum. There was also room for discussion to hear what ideas and needs teachers themselves have for bringing the Einstein Telescope into the classroom. Watch the video!
