Abstract: With the Hands on CERN project it is possible to "take part" in a modern particle physics experiment at the forefront of scientific research using scientific data transmitted via Internet. The primary aim is to show particle collisions from the physics frontline, to stimulate the interest in science and technology and to demonstrate the openness and international character of fundamental research. Hands on CERN complements the traditional physics education and confronts the students with contemporary physics and technology – both detector technology and data transmission technology via Internet - at its most fundamental level.
