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.
