I n t r o d u c t i o n  The Stockholm Educational Air Shower
Array (SEASA) project was founded in 2002 by the KTH Particle
and Astroparticle Physics group with the goal of bringing the
intellectual and technical challenge of scientific research to
high-school (gymnasier) students. The project illustrates how
research is conducted today and offers a modern and concrete
focus for student project work in the final year of high-school
studies. Students gain experience working with advanced
instrumentation to produce data that is relevant to cutting-edge
research while the project itself is dimensioned so that
students are able to make significant contributions. Students
also discover that the desired scientific results can only be
achieved through collaboration between the participating
schools.  The focus of the project is the study of high energy
cosmic ray showers using a network o
