外联活动可以直接影响教育发展和职业轨迹，同时也促进产生这些活动的机构。科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）是发展的基础，推动技术进步，开辟新的前沿。本文旨在概述一个外展活动的框架，可以开发成一个新的教学工具，展示跨多个STEM学科的合作：化学，物理，生物和工程。从火星到人类是一个互动的教育推广项目，发展所需的基础知识，以了解拉曼光谱及其在地球上和超越的许多应用。这个跨学科的演示包括由南安普顿大学的生物光子学和成像研究小组开发的几个设备和模型。我们将介绍“拉曼博士”和“生命漫游车（R4 L）的拉曼"的设计和功能，这两种互动活动设备是使用最先进的光谱技术开发的。这些设备有助于将对光物质相互作用的理解转化为现实生活中的应用，重点关注当前流行的媒体话题，公共卫生和星际发现。此外，我们还展示了这些设备如何在推广活动中激励新一代科学家，利用基础科学如何引领新的变革性技术和推进人类的努力。从火星到人类活动是为南安普顿科学与工程节（SOTSEF 2022）部署的，并收到了游客的良好反馈。我们将介绍导致这一成就的公众参与框架，分析活动的反馈和参与标准，并总结未来的目标。
Outreach activities can directly influence educational development and career trajectory; while also promoting the institutions that produce them. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is fundamental to development, pushing forward technological advancements and laying the path to new frontiers. This paper aims to provide an overview of an outreach event with a framework that can be developed into a novel teaching tool, showcasing collaboration across multiple STEM subjects: Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Engineering. From Mars to Humans is an interactive educational outreach project, developing the fundamentals needed to understand Raman spectroscopy and its many applications on earth and beyond. This interdisciplinary demonstration includes several devices and models developed by the Biophotonics and Imaging research group at the University of Southampton. We will cover the design and function of “Dr Raman” and the “Raman for Life Rover (R4L)”, two interactive activity devices that have been developed using state-of-the-art spectroscopy technology. These devices help translate the understanding of light-matter interactions to real-life applications, focusing on current popular media topics, public health and interplanetary discovery. Additionally, we demonstrate how these devices within the outreach event can inspire a new generation of scientists, utilising how the underpinning science is leading new transformative technologies and advancing human endeavour. From Mars to Humans activity was deployed for the Southampton Science and Engineering Festival (SOTSEF 2022) and received excellent feedback from visitors. We will present the public engagement framework that led to this achievement, analyse the feedback and engagement criteria of the activity, and summarise goals for the future.
