Description
As announced in previous talks at the ET-meetings, an international summer school on teacher professionalisation was in the works: MaGIC. The first edition was held last Summer in Maastricht, hosting 25 teachers from Europe exploring together the theory of gravitational wave physics and their measurements and noise mitigation, as well as the didactics to bring this back into their classroom back home. In this talk, I will report on the 1st edition of MaGIC, its programme and the response of our participants, and lay out the next steps towards local MaGIC-initiatives, so as to create a Europe-wide network of teacher trainers.
