I teach A-level physics, and physics related subjects, to keen and enthusiastic students at a large Further Education college in the north of England. I run a number of extra-curricular activities that are either electronics or computer interfacing based. The main activity involves building cosmic ray detectors and making measurements of the cosmic radiation that reaches ground level. Our current project involves working with two local schools to develop a detector array that is capable of detecting the highest enrgy particles in the universe. I have a tolerant wife and two school aged children - each of whom are braver, wiser and more intelligent than I am, but they can't mend the car.
