EPPOG Masterclass comes to the US

For the past several years, the European Particle Physics Outreach Group has run a series of spring Masterclasses in particle physics for high school students. Students work with physicists to analyze event displays from LEP, draw conclusions, and then discuss what they've learned with students in other locations via a videoconference moderated from CERN. In 2006 and 2007, US students were able to participate in limited numbers in the European Masterclasses. This year, a US Masterclass was conducted with videoconferences moderated from the CMS Remote Operations Center at Fermilab. This presentation is to discuss the results of this experience, the prospects for the future, and the potential for LHC awareness in the US.
