Lectures and hands on activities about what is science and what is fiction in famous Star Wars movies and how Star Wars relates to STFC funded R&D

40年前的1977年5月25日，《星星大战》在美国32家影院上映，开始了它在全球的成功故事。从那时起，这部著名的系列片就激发了几代人的想象力。通过互动研讨会，我们建议让加速器科学之外的STFC工作人员以及中学生（7/8年级）通过沉浸在星星战争主题的环境中来参与STFC科学。在活动日，我们将说明和解释什么是科学，什么是电影中的虚构。这将包括例如物理背后的标志性光剑，超空间，当然.警队此外，我们将把星星大战宇宙与利物浦物理系目前STFC资助的研究联系起来，并展示这如何能像星星大战中所展示的那样令人兴奋。最后，将有许多实践活动和机会与我们的研究人员交谈。这与STFC的公众参与战略完美结合，我们将使用星星大战来解释我们的社会目前面临的挑战，展示最新的研究成果，并利用这次活动来消除对大自然如何“滴答”的误解，并展示如何需要创新的想法来克服这些挑战-提高对加速器科学作为当前研发基础技术的重要性的认识。这些活动还应通过支持这些活动的在线活动，激励参与者和广大公众考虑在研究领域接受进一步培训和从事研究工作。

40 years ago, on 25 May 1977, Star Wars began its world-wide success story with the first movie being launched at 32 cinemas in the USA. Since then the famous series has sparked the imagination of generations. Through interactive workshops, we propose to engage STFC staff outside of accelerator science, as well as cohorts of secondary school children (years 7/8) with STFC science by immersing them into a Star Wars-themed environment. On the event days, we will illustrate and explain what is science and what is fiction in the movies. This will include for example the physics behind the iconic light sabre, hyperspace, and of course...the force. In addition, we will link the Star Wars universe to current STFC-funded research in Liverpool's Physics Departments and show how this can be as exciting as what is shown in Star Wars. Finally, there will be many hands-on activities and opportunities to speak with our researchers.This ties in perfectly with STFC public engagement strategy in that we will use Star Wars to explain the challenges our society currently faces, present recent research results and use the event to dispel misconceptions about how nature 'ticks' and show how innovative ideas are needed to overcome these challenges - improving the understanding of the importance of accelerator science as underpinning technology for current R&D. The events shall also motivate participants and the wider public through online campaigns supporting the events to consider further training and careers in research.
