This work introduces dynamic methods for enhancing the teaching of particle-physics concepts in school education, through the visualization of the ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) particle detector.1 Combining the ALICE LEGO model and augmented reality (AR), we present engaging and interactive ways for physics teachers to introduce their students to the intricacies of particle physics. ALICE is a powerful detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), but it comes to life in the classroom through these innovative approaches. This article provides ways to use the ALICE LEGO model and an augmented reality model to elucidate the fundamental principles behind the ALICE detector. Incorporating these interactive and immersive techniques, teachers can inspire a deeper understanding and appreciation of particle physics among the students.
