We organized a hands-on workshop using the palm-sized cosmic ray detector Cosmic Watch at Nagoya University. The workshop was designed for first-year undergraduate students and aimed to introduce the principles of cosmic ray detection and the mechanism of the detector. It included a lecture by a young researcher in particle physics, the disassembly and reassembly of the detector, and measurements of the zenith angle distribution. This presentation will report on the educational outcomes achieved through the workshop.
