On May 18 and 19, the Casona Las Condes Campus of the Universidad Andrés Bello was the venue for half a hundred students and professors to host half a hundred students and professors passionate about physics to experience the LHC Masterclass 2023, a CERN international to experience the LHC Masterclass 2023, an international initiative of CERN and organized in our country by the Millennium Institute SAPHIR and the the Millennium Institute SAPHIR and the academic and researcher Sebastián Olivares.
In two days, students from different parts of Chile had the opportunity to learn about science, interact with researchers and be learn about science, interact with researchers and be stimulated in their interest in this area, immersing themselves in the fascinating world of subatomic particle physics in the fascinating world of subatomic particle physics through lectures, workshops and empirical experimentation. talks, workshops and empirical experimentation.
The presence of renowned researchers in the field of particle physics, such as the academician Marco Aurelio Díaz from the Catholic University

This direct interaction with high-level scientists fostered the interest and curiosity of the youngsters, inspiring them curiosity of the young people, inspiring them to continue exploring the world of science.
The realization of the LHC Masterclass in Chile is a testimony of the commitment of the Instituto Milenio SAPHIR and the local scientific community to promote science outreach and bring science closer to the public. and the local scientific community to promote science outreach and bring particle physics closer to young students, seeking to particle physics to young students, seeking to encourage new talents to dare to develop their scientific vocation. to develop their scientific vocation.
