Inspired by the recent Nobel Price to Francis Halzen and IceCube, High School students visited ECAP to participate in this years IceCube Masterclass (https://masterclass.icecube.wisc.edu/, https://indico.ecap.work/e/nobel_masterclass_2026). The day started with lectures in particle and astroparticle physics. After lunch the students visited selected ECAP labs and participated in a video call with the scientist currently ensuring smooth operations of IceCube at the South Pole. During the practical part, the students were able to build their own cloud chamber and reproduce an analysis on the discovery of astrophysical neutrinos.
