Latin American Partnerships
Alfredo Raya, Escuela de Fisico-Matematicas UMSNH, Morelia, Mich., Mexico, In 1986, at the invitation of Leon M. Lederman, then Fermilab Director, ten Latin American educators attended the Conference on the Teaching of Modern Physics at Fermilab. The expectations were that these educators will disseminate the information gained to other colleagues in their respective countries. They did and continue to do so. Fermilab and Friends of Fermilab continue to be directly involved in several of these activities. Activities have been conducted in the collowing countries V InterAmerican Conference on Physics Education, July 16-22, 1994 at Texas A & M, College Station, TX. A pre-conference Minicourse: Introduction to Particle Physics, and a Panel Discussion: Teaching Particle Physics in the Classroom, were conducted by Fermilab teachers and scientists and colleagues from Argentina and Mexico.
