Ten years of the Outreach Project "International Cosmic Day" — •Nora Feigl, Carolin Schwerdt, and Heike Prokoph for the Netzwerk Teilchenwelt collaboration — DESY Zeuthen

Since 2012 students become researchers in astroparticle physics for one day of the year in November: the International Cosmic Day (ICD). Participants from more than 60 institutions such as schools, universities and research institutes in 17 countries performed experiments, discussed results and learned from scientists about the latest research in their field on ICD 2021.

There are many ways to participate, such as carrying out cosmic particle experiments, analyzing publicly available cosmic ray data and much more. Communication between the groups is arranged via up to 10 video meetings that take place throughout the day.

The ICD allows the students to have a first-hand experience of working in science, shows the students how international collaborations work and how science functions as a connecting element across national borders, language barriers and cultural differences.

In this talk we will give insights into the organization of the day and present the different possibilities of participating in the International Cosmic Day - from small projects in high school physics classes to more time-intensive elaborate experiments.
