Spotlight on Wayne State University: Wayne State University has a small but thriving QuarkNet center located in the heart of Detroit. Engagement with the community is an important aspect of their programs. Each summer, mentors Rob Harr and Gil Paz bring 12 students to campus for research with QuarkNet teachers using cosmic ray detectors. During the academic year, the mentors and teachers work with local physics teachers in the Detroit Metro Area Physics Teachers group. In the past year, the focus has been on the CMS e-Lab.
