DIY Detector Workshop Concepts for Schools and Universities — •Sebastian Laudage, Florian Bernlochner, and Maike Hansen for the Netzwerk Teilchenwelt collaboration — Physikalisches Institut, Universität Bonn, Nussallee 12, 53115 Bonn

In the last two years, we developed and tested interactive workshops at the University of Bonn under the motto "Build Your Own Particle Detector." These hands-on workshops enable participants, regardless of prior experience, to construct their own functional particle detector in just a few hours. Participants can then use these detectors to measure cosmic rays or natural background radiation, gaining direct insights into the invisible world of particle physics. Building on the lessons learned from numerous workshops, we have developed next-generation detector concepts designed to be versatile, user-friendly, and accessible to a broad audience, from school students to university-level participants. To ensure sustainability of the project, we are currently creating comprehensive educational materials that will empower other institutions to host similar workshops independently. This contribution introduces our developed hardware and outlines our plans for the upcoming year.
