Four high school students will present their summer work at Drexel University. Under the supervision of Brean Prefontaine, an undergraduate physics major, the high school students designed, coded, and built a model of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole using programmable LEDs and a microprocessor. They then took their model to the Franklin Institute and taught the general public about the IceCube Neutrino Observatory.
