    The Schools Challenge: time to open the boxes!

    The Schools Challenge: time to open the boxes! On Friday, 13 May, local primary schoolchildren attended an event in the Globe of Science and Innovation to reveal the contents of boxes they had carefully prepared as a challenge for CERN’s scientists. Since 2011, the Be a Scientist project has been introducing pupils from schools in
