Description
In the Summer of 2024, the Discovery Museum in Kerkrade and Maastricht University started the Einstein Telescope Education Centre (ETEC), a four-storey exhibition and learning facility for gravitational waves and its instrumentation, intended for upper classes of secondary education in the EMR-region. In one year of operation, ETEC has hosted many school classes, giving them a day-programme on the science of Einstein Telescope, relating it to what they already know from their high school physics classes. In this talk, I will give an overview of ETEC's programme, the experiences obtained, and the plans for its future exploitation for education of Einstein Telescope.
