Description
We would like to give a brief overview of the idea behind the CREDO-Maze project realised at the University of Lodz and summarise its status today. For some time now, we have been testing and continuously improving the design of the detectors and their electronics, adding various components that may not be necessary for CREDO itself, but may be useful for other purposes, including education. We have developed a technique that involves high school students in the construction of 'their' detector stations, and the idea is working. We are currently trying to work out the final format of the data acquisition and the IT issues of data transfer. In parallel, we are developing teaching materials on cosmic ray physics for teachers and prospective students.
