It was the best school trip ever. We had the chance to see the world’s most important research center. School reporter CERN is in Geneva, isn’t it? Bertha Yes, it is in Geneva, Switzerland. Scientists from different countries have experimented on “Particle Physics” there since 1954. School reporter Particle Physics? What does it mean? Bertha It is the study of nature’s tiniest building blocks. You know scientists try to explain basic laws of nature with these tiny particles. School reporter Have the scientists at CERN ever invented something extremely important? Bertha Sure. They invented World Wide Web in 1989 and people have used it for 27 years. School reporter Wow. It must be very inspirational to visit such an important centre. Bertha Exactly. We followed some lectures and observed some experiments. School reporter Did you have a chance to talk to researchers and scientists? Bertha Yes, we did. That’s why the trip was really inspiring. School reporter But it was a busy and tiring week, wasn’t it? Bertha Yes, it was but we had also free time for a splendid trip around CERN and Geneva. And scientists were with us during some trips.
