CERN, an international physics consortium, is unveiling its new particle physics experiment – the Atlas Project. The consortium, the National Science Foundation and Quarknet, a national organization of universities, physics laboratories and high school teachers, have invited the students to Geneva to observe, learn and produce news reports on the project.

Dobie and South Houston will send a physics student, a journalism student, a student videographer and a physics teacher overseas to Geneva to participate in the project.
