We aim to harness the current excitement in particle physics generated by the discovery of the Higgs Boson to promote and explain the nature of research in high energy particle physics. Complementing this, we will highlight the human side of research, with case studies of the day to day work and careers of STFC-funded PhD students and researchers. Aimed principally at A-level and GCSE students and their teachers, with a secondary audience of interested general readers, the project will develop a substantial package of inspirational articles exploring physics research, linked to engaging problems for Key Stage 5 and Key Stage 4 students. The project will be developed and delivered in partnership between the STFC funded researchers at Queen Mary and the Millennium Maths Project (MMP), based at the University of Cambridge but active nationally and internationally. Queen Mary will provide academics whose work is at the forefront of particle physics research and the MMP will provide experienced science communicators and educators with the skills and knowledge required to bridge the divide between schools and advanced academic research, an established web platform and, importantly, a well-known brand with significant following and a proven track record of success. The resources created will be published on and promoted via the MMP's established Plus (plus.maths.org) and NRICH (nrich.maths.org) websites, which together currently attract around 5 million visits and 20 million page views per year.The resource pack created for the project will include:- In-depth introductory articles contextualising the physics research;- Interviews with researchers covering their research, their personal experiences and their careers. - Interviews with STFC funded PhD students who have now left physics to show the utility and impact of a Physics PhD outside academia.- Engaging related problems aimed at Key Stage 4 and 5 students, enabling them to explore the links between the physics and maths they learn in the classroom and more advanced study and research. Complementing the online content, the project will also produce a set of attractive and engaging hard-copy A3 posters, providing accessible edited highlights of the project content and thought-provoking and engaging problems, which themselves will act as an educational resource. The project will also produce travel card holders which can be distributed to students and teachers to publicise the project resources.The goal is to increase understanding and appreciation of the physics involved in STFC-funded research, to motivate and engage 14-16 and 16-18 year old school students and encourage them to study physics at university, and to provide science and maths teachers with material to further their own knowledge and a rich resource demonstrating meaningful and motivating applications of the maths and physics they teach in the classroom. This rich package of resources - covering the science, the personal experience of researchers, and related school activities - will provide an accessible, inspirational glimpse into life at the frontiers of physics, dispelling the myth that scientists and the work they produce are only accessible to a chosen few and demonstrating that a career at the frontiers of science starts in the classroom. This project will deliver a high-quality and comprehensive public engagement and education resource exploring STFC-funded science in particle physics, and will form a sustainable, permanently accessible online resource

我们的目标是利用希格斯玻色子的发现所产生的粒子物理学目前的兴奋，以促进和解释高能粒子物理学研究的性质。补充这一点，我们将突出研究的人性化方面，与日常工作的案例研究和STFC资助的博士生和研究人员的职业生涯。主要针对A级和GCSE学生和他们的老师，与感兴趣的普通读者的次要受众，该项目将开发一个鼓舞人心的文章探索物理研究的实质性包，与关键阶段5和关键阶段4学生的参与问题。该项目将在玛丽皇后学院由科学技术促进委员会资助的研究人员和千年数学项目（MMP）的合作下开发和交付，该项目设在剑桥大学，但在国内和国际上都很活跃。女王玛丽将提供学者的工作是在粒子物理学研究的最前沿和MMP将提供经验丰富的科学传播者和教育工作者所需的技能和知识，以弥合学校和先进的学术研究，一个既定的网络平台之间的鸿沟，重要的是，一个著名的品牌具有显著的以下和成功的良好记录。这些资源将在MMP的Plus（plus.maths.org）和NRICH（nrich.maths.org）网站上发布和推广，目前这两个网站每年的访问量约为500万次，页面浏览量约为2000万次。为该项目创建的资源包将包括：-深入介绍物理学研究的文章;-对研究人员的采访，涵盖他们的研究、个人经历和职业生涯。- 与STFC资助的博士生谁现在已经离开物理的采访，以显示学术界以外的物理博士的效用和影响。从事针对关键阶段4和5学生的相关问题，使他们能够探索他们在课堂上学习的物理和数学以及更高级的学习和研究之间的联系。作为对在线内容的补充，该项目还将制作一套有吸引力和吸引人的硬拷贝A3海报，提供项目内容的可访问的编辑亮点以及发人深省和吸引人的问题，这些问题本身将作为教育资源。该项目还将制作旅行卡，分发给学生和教师，以宣传项目资源，目的是提高对STFC资助研究所涉及的物理学的理解和欣赏，激励和吸引14-16岁和16-18岁的学生，鼓励他们在大学学习物理，并为科学和数学教师提供材料，以促进他们自己的知识和丰富的资源，展示他们在课堂上教授的数学和物理的有意义和激励性的应用。这一丰富的资源包-涵盖科学，研究人员的个人经验和相关的学校活动-将提供一个可访问的，鼓舞人心的一瞥生活在物理学的前沿，消除神话，科学家和他们生产的工作只有少数人才能进入，并表明在科学的前沿职业生涯开始在教室里。该项目将提供高质量和全面的公众参与和教育资源，探索STFC资助的粒子物理学科学，并将形成可持续的，永久访问的在线资源
