Quarknet FSU Summer Workshop

July 6-10, 2015

Prior to Day One

• Go to the i2u2 site and create an account or update your existing one.
• If you have a Quarknet Cosmic Ray Detector in your classroom, please bring it with you Tuesday. We'll spend Tuesday-Thursday setting them up, troubleshooting, and uploading data. Want one in your classroom? We can arrange that during the workshop.

Food

• We'll bring the coffee maker and supplies for the first day. If you'd like, feel free to bring in grounds or morning treats.
• The lunch break is typically between 11 and noon. Bring your own lunch or eat at the nearby FSU Dining Hall where you'll find a huge buffet for a wide range of preferences and needs.
