Oriel Science's aim is: Showcasing Science in the Community.Oriel Science is a public-facing exhibition and outreach space showcasing the University's STEM research. Our vision is to continue hosting rolling, thematic, science-based exhibitions aimed at our two target audiences: school students and the wider public. Alongside the gallery, Oriel Science will house a workshop offering a schools programme in parallel with each exhibition. We create accessible, informative and interactive exhibitions focused on the work and collaborations of the University's STEM community. We take visitors on a visceral journey through a scientific theme, ignite their curiosity to explore that theme, and leave a lasting legacy in their imagination. We will encourage younger visitors to choose STEM subjects at school leading to STEM degrees in University and further develop the scientific literacy of older visitors.Oriel Science launched on 10th September 2016 at the end of the British Science Festival which was hosted by Swansea University. We are open to the public every weekend and also during the October half-term where we held a range of special activities and workshops designed for school-aged students. We average 2,000 visitors per month (excluding half-term) and have had significant media coverage.Our first exhibition is based on the theme of "Time" and features 16 exhibits including the STFC LHC Roadshow, a range of particle physics detectors (a cloud chamber, Geiger counter, MX-10 detector and muon observatory) illustrating that sub-atomic particle decay after a very short TIME. We have an audio visual animation of time dilation near black holes, an immersive experience showing a time lapse video of the southern stars with a sound track taken from the Voyager spacecraft. A 30 metre "time wall" has an animation of the history of the Universe from the Big Bang. The public is welcomed to the venue by a "Back to the Future" DeLorean and a Tardis "time machine" enticingly situated to be visible from the outside.We are now planning our second themed exhibition, "Image", and this application seeks funding for an STFC footprint in this venture. There are many obvious STFC-related exhibits related to this theme: astronomical, particle and nuclear physics, intense light sources, etc. The "Image" exhibition therefore represents a fantastic opportunity to engage visitors with STFC Science so that their understanding and appreciation of this science and technology is developed.

Oriel Science的目标是：Oriel Science是一个面向公众的展览和外展空间，展示了大学的STEM研究。我们的愿景是继续举办滚动的，主题的，以科学为基础的展览，针对我们的两个目标受众：学校学生和更广泛的公众。在画廊旁边，Oriel Science将举办一个研讨会，在每个展览的同时提供学校课程。我们创建了方便，信息和互动的展览，专注于大学的STEM社区的工作和合作。我们带领游客通过一个科学主题进行一次发自内心的旅程，点燃他们探索这个主题的好奇心，并在他们的想象力中留下持久的遗产。我们将鼓励年轻游客选择STEM科目在学校导致STEM学位在大学，并进一步发展老年游客的科学素养.Oriel科学推出于2016年9月10日在英国科学节这是由斯旺西大学主办的结束.我们每个周末都向公众开放，在10月的半学期，我们为学龄学生举办了一系列特别活动和研讨会。我们的第一个展览以“时间”为主题，共有16个展品，包括STFC LHC路演，一系列粒子物理探测器（云室，盖革计数器，MX-10探测器和μ子观测站），展示了亚原子粒子在很短的时间后衰变。我们有一个黑洞附近时间膨胀的视听动画，一个身临其境的体验，展示了一个从旅行者号宇宙飞船上拍摄的南方恒星的时间推移视频。一个30米的“时间墙”有一个动画的历史，宇宙从大爆炸。一辆“回到未来”的DeLorean和一台从外面就能看到的Tardis“时间机器”欢迎公众进入会场。我们现在正在计划我们的第二个主题展览“Image”，这个应用程序正在为STFC在这个项目中的足迹寻求资金。有许多与这一主题相关的明显的STFC相关展品：天文学，粒子和核物理学，强光源等。因此，“图像”展览代表了一个绝佳的机会，让参观者与STFC科学接触，从而发展他们对这一科学和技术的理解和欣赏。
