Orientation 2024

This page is to help to guide mentors in preparing their teams, including teachers, for the masterclass.

New Institutes: Masterclass Orientation

A masterclass orientation can be done online via Zoom or in person with a visit from a QuarkNet staff member or fellow. It is intended for teachers and mentors. Here is what is covered:

• Classroom prep for the masterclass
• Try out an ATLAS or CMS masterclass measurement
• Walk-through of masterclass logistics
• Masterclass Library
• Zoom test
• Q&A

This generally takes 3-6 hours, though it can be trimmed or extended depending on needed. If you are doing a CMS or ATLAS Data Workshop in the masterclass orientation period, it counts as an orientation. If you had one previous to this, you only need an orientation update (below).

Experienced Institutes: Orientation Updates

An orientation update is to bring teachers and mentors up to speed on the latest in masterclass measurements and procedures. As orientation updates are done online, they also serve as Zoom tests. Orientation updates take 1-2 hours.
