CERN is not a museum. It is a working laboratory where 12,500 scientists from over 100 countries study the fundamental structure of the universe. The Higgs Boson was confirmed here. The World Wide Web was born here. For seven days, your student will stand where it all began.
Textbooks describe these discoveries in a paragraph. At CERN, your student stands exactly where they happened — and understands why they matter.
On 4 July 2012, scientists at CERN confirmed the existence of the Higgs Boson — the particle that gives all matter its mass. It is considered the most significant scientific discovery of the 21st century, and it answered a question physicists had been unable to solve for nearly fifty years.
Students don't just hear about it — they learn why the electron is so light, why the proton is so heavy, why particles have different masses at all, and what the universe may have looked like before the Big Bang.
The internet as we know it was invented at CERN in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee. Every website, every app, every digital platform in the world traces its origin to this laboratory. Students discover how scientific collaboration led to one of humanity's greatest technological breakthroughs — and see the place where it actually happened.
Students go on an expedition to understand how the Principle of Relativity makes the GPS in their phone work every single day. And they learn about Proton Therapy — a scientific marvel born from particle physics with far-reaching applications in cancer treatment. This is where abstract physics becomes the technology that shapes ordinary life.
Beyond international scientists and educators, students at MasterClass @ CERN interact with Nobel Laureates. These exclusive engagements are designed to inspire young Indian minds — because sometimes a single conversation can shape the next generation of innovators, researchers, and changemakers.
At CERN, students engage with the frontier of human knowledge — not to memorise answers, but to understand why these questions matter.
Why is the electron so light, and the proton so heavy?
Why do particles have different masses at all?
What happened before the Big Bang?
Does anti-matter really exist?
What lies beyond time itself?
How does relativity power the GPS we use daily?
A global scientific immersion programme designed to ignite curiosity, confidence, and innovation in young Indian minds.
At CERN, you won't just learn science. You will experience the spirit of discovery.— A message to every young scientist
The universe still holds countless mysteries. Begin your student's journey from the classroom to the frontiers of modern science — for Indian students, Grades 9 to 12. Limited slots available.
