To date the in2scienceUK charity has worked with over 700 young people, only 25 of which have had access to physicists which is despite 300+ young people from this demographic applying every year to gain access to this area of research. This grant will fund new work to support 50 young people from the poorest backgrounds to gain 2 week insights into high level Physics based research through a work placement hosted by STFC researchers. These young people have the opportunity to engage in high level research science, make blogs and videos of the work they are engaged in and also access high quality workshops and skills day delivered by the in2scienceUK team) enabling them to get a greater understanding of STEM career pathways and university access. This work will focus on supporting local young people in London, Oxford and Cambridge. 100% will be from low income backgrounds (receive free school meals and have parents who do not hold a degree).We know that through our trialed and tested programme (independently assessed) that by bringing together young people from low income backgrounds who lack science capital and opportunities, together with researchers this can have substantial impact in their decisions to progress to degrees and research based careers. With 20% higher salaries available in STEM careers compared to other sectors, our vision is that in2scienceUK will provide a way out of economic inequality for these young people.The aim of this grant has short and long term aims. Short-term.The 50 young people we'll work with (in addition to their families and teachers) will progress from the in2scienceUK Sparks programme being more confident, well read, more informed about STFC-funded research, associated careers but also have developed the professional skills critical for success in the world today.During the programme young people will formulate blogs, images and videos (see attached case for examples) that explain STFC-research that is accessible to the public and will be disseminated to their schools, families and public raising the engagement of STFC-funded research.More than 50 STFC-funded researchers will have participated in this public engagement activity and have substantial evidence of this which they can show via videos, blogs and images.Long-termIn2scienceUK will build up networks within the STFC community and ensure these relationships are sustained for years to come. Increase the number of young people from low income backgrounds progressing to university to study physics and into research careers.

迄今为止，in 2scienceUK慈善机构已经与700多名年轻人合作，其中只有25人能够接触到物理学家，尽管每年有300多名年轻人申请进入这一研究领域。这笔赠款将资助新的工作，以支持50名来自最贫困背景的年轻人，通过STFC研究人员主持的工作实习，获得为期2周的高水平物理学研究的见解。这些年轻人有机会从事高水平的研究科学，制作他们所从事的工作的博客和视频，并获得由in 2scienceUK团队提供的高质量研讨会和技能日，使他们能够更好地了解STEM职业途径和大学入学。这项工作将侧重于支持伦敦、牛津和剑桥的当地年轻人。100%将来自低收入背景（获得免费学校膳食，父母没有学位）。我们知道，通过我们的试验和测试计划（独立评估），通过汇集来自低收入背景的年轻人谁缺乏科学资本和机会，与研究人员一起，这可以对他们的决定产生重大影响，以取得学位和研究为基础的职业生涯。与其他行业相比，STEM职业的工资高出20%，我们的愿景是，in 2scienceUK将为这些年轻人提供一条摆脱经济不平等的道路。该补助金的目的有短期和长期目标。短期的。我们将和50个年轻人一起工作（除了他们的家人和老师）将从in 2scienceUK Sparks计划中获得更大的进步，更自信，更好地阅读，更了解STFC资助的研究，相关的职业，而且还开发了在当今世界取得成功的关键专业技能。在该计划中，年轻人将建立博客，图像和视频（见所附案例的例子），解释STFC的研究，是向公众开放，并将传播到他们的学校，家庭和公众提高STFC资助的研究的参与。超过50 STFC-受资助的研究人员将参与这项公众参与活动，并有大量证据证明这一点，他们可以通过视频显示，长期In 2scienceUK将在STFC社区内建立网络，并确保这些关系在未来几年持续下去。增加来自低收入背景的年轻人进入大学学习物理和从事研究工作的人数。
