What is this hack?

One of the experiments from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment), has released a small amount of the data for educational purposes. However, it is hard to access and even more difficult to understand. Can we hack a better interface to these data? Can we create a website to allow others to use these data for education or art? Or can we do real science with these data ? I'll bring the data and explain what is in these datasets and some simple tools to interface with these data. Looking for hackers, coders, educators, artists and definitely designers, to figure out if this can be done.
