For this I personal made a sample of paracetamol from base components. A strict code of safety, attention to detail and precision were needed for this due to the toxic nature of the ingredients.

With teacher support I organized a meeting with the Headmaster for final authorisation before contacting CERN for approval. After approval flights, funding, accommodation, and events were planned.
