We have found that a Cascade competition is a very efficient way to introduce Particle Physics concepts and experiments to a wide range of students.

All the material that we have used for these competitions is freely available on the web which we hope will make it easier for more groups to try similar competitions in the future. The name Cascade emphasizes that the competition aims to introduce and inform many students about Particle Physics.
