  From November 26 to December 12, 2022, Shane Wood and Kenneth Cecire,
QuarkNet staff members under the University of Notre Dame, traveled to South
Africa as Lecturers in the African School of Fundamental Physics and
Applications (ASP) 2022, held at Nelson Mandela University in Gqeberha (Port
Elizabeth) within the same calendar period. ASP is held every other year in a
different African country for two or three weeks for African graduate and
advanced undergraduate physics students to expose them to cutting-edge physics
content and analysis techniques that may not be as available in their home
institutions. Since 2016, there has been an outreach component consisting of
the High School Teachers and Learners Programs. Cecire and Wood were
facilitators of these programs and also acted as lecturers for two regular ASP
classes. (We will use the term "student" to refer to these university students
and "learners" to refer to high school students, following the practice of
ASP.) They played a very active role and were quite busy during their two-week
involvement. The mission was successful in terms of reaching teachers,
learners, and students with new and exciting ideas and in terms of building
strong collaborative relationships.
