The Virtual QuarkNet Center is a group of teachers, generally far from a geographic QuarkNet center but who work together using online tools to collaborate. Virtual QuarkNet Center teachers have monthly Sunday evening videoconferences during the school year and meet face-to-face once each summer. The teachers participate in cosmic ray studies using the cosmic ray e-Lab and in international masterclasses from their schools. The mentors, Marc Osherson, a particle physicist at the University of Notre Dame, and Danielle McDermott, condensed matter physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory; the lead teachers, Megan Alvord is a QuarkNet Coding Fellow from North Caroline and Mike Wadness is a QuarkNet fellow from Massachusetts.
