DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. SNOW\, Gregory (University of Nebraska)\nThe s
 cale and scope of the physics studied at the Auger Observatory offer signi
 ficant\nopportunities for original outreach work. Education\, outreach and
  public relations of\nthe Auger collaboration are coordinated in a separat
 e task whose goals are to\nencourage and support a wide range of education
  and outreach efforts that link\nschools and the public with the Auger sci
 entists and the science of cosmic rays\,\nparticle physics\, and associate
 d technologies. The presentation will focus on the\nimpact of the collabor
 ation in Mendoza Province\, Argentina\, as: the Auger Visitor\nCenter in M
 alargüe that has hosted over 25\,000 visitors since 2001\, the Auger\nCel
 ebration and a collaboration-sponsored science fair held on the Observator
 y campus\nin November 2005\, the opening of the James Cronin School in Mal
 argüe in November\n2006\, public lectures\, school visits\, and courses f
 or science teachers. As the\ncollaboration prepares its northern hemispher
 e site proposal\, plans for an enhanced\noutreach program are being develo
 ped in parallel and will be described.\n\nhttps://indico.nucleares.unam.mx
