Abstract
The ATLAS Collaboration is committed to advancing particle physics education and inspiring the next generation of physicists. Through the open data for education initiative, the aim is to demystify science, promote high-energy physics to a broader audience, and build trust in our methodologies. Launched in 2016, this project currently includes two datasets from proton--proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider: a fraction of both 2012 run with $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV and 2016 run with $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. To facilitate the use of these data, a range of documentation and exercises has been developed, from interactive tools for data analysis to programming tools with a complete analysis workflow. This year, the whole data from 2015 and 2016 runs will be released, bringing the total integrated luminosity to 36 fb$^{-1}$, enabling new analyses and enhancing existing examples.
