The key aims of the project are as follows: 1. To support science education by looking at light from the revolutionary discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton to real life applications of the electromagnetic spectrum and how it shapes our modern day lives. Young people take microwaves, mobile phones, remote controls and satellite navigation systems for granted but they often do not understand how and why they work. Linking science teaching to everyday hands-on activities is an effective tool for encouraging young people to take a more positive attitude towards Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). 2. To raise awareness of current research. Establishing links with research facilities will assist in the communication of new knowledge, allowing the wider audience to gain an insight into areas of science they may otherwise be unaware of. These links will help to show how discoveries made by detecting energy across the whole of the electromagnetic spectrum has revolutionised how we see the Universe and how we can use some of these discoveries in everyday life. 3. To immerse the wider audience in audible signals from space. Most people who are not in the field of Astronomy and Space will be unaware that electromagnetic energies can be detected and translated into audible signals as well as visible images, or that radio signals for example are indeed part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The aim is to link images with sound signals and explain the relationship between light and sound. 4. To celebrate International Year of Light and Light based Technologies (IYL2015) by engaging a wide audience from all walks of life, all ages and all abilities with the exciting 'science of light' through physics, chemistry, biology and astronomy. Introducing subjects in a fun interactive way and through different media often helps those with little or no knowledge of the subject to better understand difficult concepts. The overall impact of this ambitious project will be to inspire, engage and help as many people as possible to understand the fascinating world of light and light based technologies, from everyday items and modern day life to astronomy and space. The Observatory Science Centre has received funding from STFC in the past either directly or through the Association of Science and Discovery Centres (ASDC) which has a relevance to this project ('The Solar Physics Experience' 2007 and 'Explore Your Universe: from atoms to astrophysics' [EYU] through ASDC and delivered during 2013). The resources from these projects can be combined and redeveloped into relevant workshops etc. thus ensuring the legacy of past projects through continuing updates.

该项目的主要目标如下：1.通过观察从艾萨克·牛顿爵士的革命性发现到电磁频谱在现实生活中的应用以及它如何塑造我们的现代生活来支持科学教育。年轻人认为微波炉、手机、遥控器和卫星导航系统是理所当然的，但他们往往不知道它们是如何工作的，为什么它们是工作的。将科学教学与日常实践活动联系起来，是鼓励年轻人对科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)采取更积极态度的有效工具。2.提高对当前研究的认识。与研究机构建立联系将有助于传播新知识，使更广泛的受众能够深入了解他们原本可能不知道的科学领域。这些链接将有助于展示通过探测整个电磁频谱的能量所取得的发现如何彻底改变了我们看待宇宙的方式，以及我们如何在日常生活中使用其中一些发现。3.让更多的观众沉浸在来自太空的可听信号中。大多数不在天文学和太空领域的人都不知道电磁能量可以被探测到并转化为可听信号和可见光图像，或者例如无线电信号确实是电磁频谱的一部分。其目的是将图像与声音信号联系起来，并解释光和声音之间的关系。4.为了庆祝国际光年和基于光的技术(IYL2015)，通过物理、化学、生物和天文学，吸引来自各行各业、所有年龄和各种能力的广泛受众，学习令人兴奋的光科学。以有趣的互动方式和通过不同的媒体介绍主题通常有助于那些对该主题知之甚少或一无所知的人更好地理解困难的概念。这个雄心勃勃的项目的总体影响将是激励、吸引和帮助尽可能多的人了解光和基于光的技术的迷人世界，从日常用品和现代生活到天文学和太空。天文台科学中心过去曾直接或通过科学和发现中心协会(ASDC)获得与该项目相关的资金(2007年的“太阳物理体验”和通过ASDC的“探索你的宇宙：从原子到天体物理学”[EYU]，并于2013年交付)。这些项目的资源可以合并起来，重新开发成相关的讲习班等，从而通过不断更新来确保过去项目的遗产。
