| High School Fellowship | Saturday Morning Lectures |
April 14, 2012: The 2nd annual ATLAS Masterclass took place at the University of British Columbia and the University of Victoria. Grade 11 and 12 students spent a day learning about how ATLAS looks for fundamental particles, then put their new-found expertise to use looking for some in real ATLAS data. Thanks to all the scientists and teachers and students who made the Masterclass a big success, and we look forward to programming expanded Masterclasses in the future. See Headline News story here.
March 14, 2012: Note that the April 14 Saturday Morning lecture location has been changed to the Old Barn Community Centre on the UBC Campus (6308 Thuderbird Blvd. Map here.) This is due to ongoing disruptions at the TRIUMF Auditorium due to nearby construction.

As a world-leading research laboratory, TRIUMF takes its commitment to the citizens of Canada seriously. A key component of that commitment is a formal education & outreach program with a mission of promoting science and research in the public arena. TRIUMF’s outreach activities are also designed to tell Canadian students, teachers, and the public about the excitement of curiosity-driven research and about how a laboratory like TRIUMF adds value to Canada in new technologies, medical applications, and highly qualified people.
TRIUMF offers outreach programs for high-school students, teachers, and the general public. For example:
TRIUMF has an ongoing commitment to education at all levels. Student programs target high-school students, undergraduate, and graduate students, as well as post-doctoral and research assistant positions. TRIUMF provides scholarships, on-site educational opportunities, and student-focused conferences and initiatives. As well as academically focused educational opportunities, TRIUMF provides training for technical and trades careers through co-op programs.
