  23. Summary • It has been an exciting period of growth for QuarkNet nationally and locally. • We have worked extensively with 11 teachers and 15 high school students. • The program should grow, now that the word is out. • We are now in need of sustaining resources to manage the local program properly. MPT Meeting, Trinity School, South Bend Nov ‘00 L. Castle, La Porte High School and ND QuarkNet Center

  24. Sustaining the Effort • NSF/DOE Funding • QuarkNet out-year funding • RET (research experiences for teachers) • Experimental construction funds, DØ and CMS • Endowment or Corporate Sponsorship • AEP, Siemens, …? • Other initiatives • Nanotechnology Center proposal to NSF by the College of Engineering • New Particle Physics initiatives.
