Summary

• It has been an exciting period of growth for QuarkNet nationally and locally.

• We have worked extensively with 11 teachers and 15 high school students.

• The program should grow, now that the word is out.

• We are now in need of sustaining resources to manage the local program properly.

Sustaining the Effort

• NSF/DOE Funding • QuarkNet out-year funding • RET (research experiences for teachers) • Experimental construction funds, DØ and CMS • Endowment or Corporate Sponsorship • AEP, Siemens, …?

• Other initiatives • Nanotechnology Center proposal to NSF by the College of Engineering • New Particle Physics initiatives.
