Workshops

The Cosmic Ray Observation Project was started in 1999 by PhD professors Gregory Snow and Daniel Claes at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. It was designed to meet two goals: first, to study the patterns of arriving cosmic particles, and second, to interest high school students in careers in science (especially Physics). Through the use of detection equipment, CROP allows high schools to produce research quality data in a program that prepares their students for college level science and research. The project is unique at UNL due to its reliance on undergraduate students and community help. Through a collaborative effort, CROP has launched detectors all over the Midwest, and has encouraged four generations of high school students to further their science education.
