In the background you will see a cosmic ray detector. Bancroft-Rosalie School has four of these detectors mounted under the roof of the mezzanine. The detectors are part of the physics curriculum, when we study subatomic particles. We are in the process of putting the detectors on the roof of the new gymnasium to gather cosmic ray data. This data will be shared by Dr. Claes and other researchers at UNL and Creighton University.
