The μNet project: A status report

Abstract μNet aims at the deployment and long-term operation of an extensive school network of educational Cosmic Ray telescopes in the geographical area of Peloponnese. In the framework of μNet, an extended educational program will take place, encompassing educational activities for the construction, testing and operation of μCosmics (microCosmics) detectors, as well as for the remote operation of cosmic ray detection stations and astroparticle physics experimental devices deployed at the Hellenic Open University (HOU) campus. A pilot run of the μNet project started in 2020 aiming at the deployment and operation of a small school network in the prefecture of Achaea. In this work we present the progress of the program to date and the feedback we have received so far from the students and the teachers participating in it.
