This is the pilot version of a particle physics course for high-school students \u2013 a research-based product of CERN\u2019s Physics Education Research team. It contains 16 chapters with videos and quizzes and covers a core curriculum that introduces you to fundamental questions, such as \u201cWhat is a particle?\u201d or \u201cWhat are charges and interactions?\u201d, leading to more applied questions, such as \u201cWhat is a particle accelerator?\u201d and \u201cWhat is a particle detector?\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
