The Extreme Energy Events project has been conceived to join the scientific interest of a real cosmic rays physics experiment with the enormous didactic potentiality deriving from letting it be carried out by high school students and teachers. After the initial phase, the experiment is starting to take data continuously, and the first interesting physics results have been obtained, demonstrating the validity of the idea of running a real physics investigation in these peculiar conditions. In this paper an overview of its structure and status is presented; also few results obtained at the sites are included.

Abstract
The Extreme Energy Events project has been conceived to join the scientific interest of a real cosmic rays physics experiment with the enormous didactic potentiality deriving from letting it be carried out by high school students and teachers. After the initial phase, the experiment is starting to take data continuously, and the first interesting physics results have been obtained, demonstrating the validity of the idea of running a real physics investigation in these peculiar conditions. In this paper an overview of its structure and status is presented; also few results obtained at the sites are included.File in questo prodotto:
