The aim of this application is to support the ongoing development and expansion of the Lewes STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) Festival. The festival aims to encourage the general public to take an interest in STEM disciplines while also serving as a showcase for research undertaken in the local community (including the University of Sussex, University of Brighton, and local businesses). The festival provides an efficient way to reach a large audience encompassing STFC's key target demographics as outlined in the strategic roadmap. The event complements other education and public outreach activities (for example, the University of Sussex Department of Physics and Astronomy organises a large number of school visits) by more actively engaging with families and the general public.The first event of the first (2016) Lewes STEM Festival was held on the 23rd April 2016. This event took the form of a "STEM fair" with a range of STEM-related activities aimed predominantly at KS1-3 (ages 5-13) students. Despite limited publicity (a result of the lack of resources) the fair ran at capacity (i.e. we had to operate a one-in one-out policy) attracting ~600 visitors over 3 hours and received extremely positive feedback. Despite the success of this first event the tenability of the event in future years is at risk without additional resources, particularly in the form of a publicity budget (to produce flyers, posters, and banners etc.) and administrative assistance (for the production of publicity materials, organising the various activities, making contacts with local businesses etc.). The immediate aim of this grant is to provide some of the resources critical to maintaining and further expanding the festival.

该应用程序的目的是支持Lewes STEM（科学，技术，工程和数学）节的持续发展和扩展。该节日旨在鼓励公众对STEM学科产生兴趣，同时还可以作为当地社区（包括苏塞克斯大学，布莱顿大学和当地企业）进行研究的展示。该节日提供了一种有效的方式，可以吸引大量观众，包括战略路线图中概述的STFC的主要目标人群。该活动通过更积极地与家人和公众互动，对其他教育和公共宣传活动（例如，苏塞克斯大学物理与天文学系组织了大量的学校访问）。第一个（2016年）的刘易斯STEM节的第一个事件是在2016年4月23日举行的。2016年4月23日，这一活动与“ STEM FAIR”形式进行了“词干”的形式。 学生。尽管宣传有限（由于缺乏资源的结果），博览会以能力运行（即我们必须执行一次单爆的政策）吸引了约600名游客3个小时，并收到了极为积极的反馈。尽管第一次事件取得了成功，但未来几年的事件的可行性仍处于危险之中，尤其是在宣传预算的形式（生产传单，海报和横幅等）和行政援助（用于生产宣传材料，组织各种活动，与当地企业建立联系等）。这笔赠款的直接目的是提供一些对维护和进一步扩大节日至关重要的资源。
