The Ashcombe School students in Dorking visited CERN and they all have been encouraged by the visit. It has been informed that at the time of the February visit, the young scientists revealed how the Swiss nuclear research centre is helping provide answers for some of the most essential questions facing the human race.

According to experts, scientific breakthroughs like the finding of the Higgs boson particle needs experimental machines on a huge scale. CERN is a European research organization that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. The European Organization for Nuclear Research known as CERN was established back in 1954. Since it was founded the UK has been a member of CERN.

Membership enables British researchers to attain many roles that contributes and helps in CERN's continuing success. A member of the CERN community led the visit of the school students. The member discussed about personal experience and their contribution to the research programme. Student Ella Know liked the visit and receiving an insight of particle physics research in Europe. According to Ella Know, they also get access to the CMS detector 100m underground.

“The scale of the science and technology at CERN is awe-inspiring. There is no doubt that seeing it at first hand, and meeting the people who work on the experiments, can influence young people's future education and career choices”, said Professor John Womersley, chief executive officer of the UK's Science and Technology Facilities Council. Womersley also said that his own research career started at CERN and he carry on to be fascinated by its findings.
