This projects aims to place cutting-edge scientific research at the heart of a museum/visitor attraction, engaging with new audiences and strengthening the link between University researchers and the regional community. The project will be the first venture of a new collaborative partnership between the University of Central Lancashire and the Beacon Museum, Whitehaven, and will achieve the following:Integration of scientific research into a museum gallery, placing STEM alongside aspects of history, culture and heritage and highlighting the importance of STEM to the regionPlace science learning into this community hub, in an area where there are no science centres/museums/discovery centres, and use this as a launchpad for future collaborative activity. Engagement of new audiences with STEM, especially audiences who would not normally seek out scientific information/activitiesIncreased visibility of higher education in an area where participation in HE is low (POLAR 3 methodology) and opportunity for aspiration-raising activity linked to the museum exhibit/outreach programme plannedA varied programme of community engagement, including dance, storytelling, craft and science sessions, that offer opportunities for a wide range of interest groups and ages to engage with the research showcased An exciting opportunity for researchers, and students, to get involved in public engagement in a variety of waysForming a link with museum professionals, which we will build on in future projects, e.g. developing content around the history of UCLan's observatoriesDelivery of a programme of engagement as part of the International Year of Light

该项目旨在将尖端科学研究置于博物馆/游客景点的核心，吸引新观众并加强大学研究人员与地区社区之间的联系。该项目将是中央兰开夏大学和怀特黑文灯塔博物馆之间新的合作伙伴关系的首次尝试，并将实现以下目标：将科学研究融入博物馆画廊，将 STEM 与历史、文化和遗产等方面放在一起，并强调 STEM 对该地区的重要性。 未来协作活动的启动板。让新受众参与 STEM，特别是那些通常不会寻求科学信息/活动的受众 提高高等教育参与率较低的地区的高等教育知名度（POLAR 3 方法），并为与博物馆展览/外展计划相关的提升抱负的活动提供机会 计划开展各种社区参与计划，包括舞蹈、讲故事、手工艺和科学课程，为广泛的兴趣群体和年龄层提供参与所展示研究的机会 为研究人员和学生提供令人兴奋的机会，以各种方式参与公众参与与博物馆专业人士建立联系，我们将在未来的项目中建立这种联系，例如围绕中央兰开夏大学天文台的历史开发内容交付参与计划，作为国际光年的一部分
