The aims of Science in the Space shed are to:1) Inspire children, young people and their families to pursue studies and careers in STEM subjects and the space sector,2) Provide inspiration to women of all ages with a gender balanced, inspirational programme of scientific speakers.3) Create a longlasting legacy for the activity by recording, editing, publishing and promoting the interviews as podcasts.We will do this by presenting a series of scientific talks and science-related music performances at major music festivals in summer 2018, bringing accessible and gender-positive STFC science to a diverse range of festival-goers in an informal setting.Science in the Space Shed will go to three major music and arts festivals with science content - Blue Dot (Jodrell Bank, Lancashire), The Great Musuem at the Great Exhibition of the North (Newcastle) and Green Man (Brecon Beacons, Wales) - to deliver a programme of conversations, interactive events and science-inspired music, with a theme of particle physics, accelerator physics, astronomy and astrophysics. The project will run as a pilot for (we hope) more events in the future and is underpinned by high calibre of speakers that is focussed on gender balance and general diversity of speakers. The Unlimied Space Agency has a strong track record of delivering this sort of activity in the field of astronomy and space science and this pilot evolves the expertise into particle, accelerator and more astrophysics. How do we meet the strategy of STFC?Showcasing STFC Science and Technology. The curated (and subsequently podcast) series of gender-positive science conversations with high profile speakers will focus on the core STFC science areas of space, accelerator and particle physics. Both Rob and Jon have a network of contacts to cover all these areas, and the conversations will highlight the achievements of the UK programme. Building the right partnerships. Science in the Space Shed builds a relationship with three large music/arts festivals, with an audience base interested in modern science Developing and supporting STEM influencers. Both Rob and Jon have a strong track record in public engagement, and will be brought together to work as a team though this project.Improving our reach with diverse audiences. The project does not explicitly target diverse audiences but festival audiences will contain a broad cross-section of people. Dr Appleby will use expertise gained as PI of Tactile Collider to respond to VI audience members. Delivering High Quality Public engagement activities and outcomes. The planned programme of science conversations and performances is high quality, with a strong track record on delivering events from the project team.

“太空中的科学”的目标是：1)激励儿童、年轻人及其家庭在STEM学科和太空领域学习和职业生涯；2)通过性别平衡、鼓舞人心的科学演讲者计划，为所有年龄段的女性提供灵感。3)通过录制、编辑、发布和推广访谈作为播客，为活动创造持久的遗产。为此，我们将在2018年夏季的主要音乐节上举办一系列科学讲座和与科学相关的音乐表演，在非正式的环境中为各种各样的音乐节观众带来无障碍和性别积极的STFC科学。“太空小屋中的科学”将前往三个具有科学内容的主要音乐和艺术节——蓝点（兰开夏郡乔德雷尔银行）、伟大的北方展览博物馆（纽卡斯尔）和绿人（威尔士布雷肯比肯斯）——以粒子物理学、加速器物理学、天文学和天体物理学为主题，提供对话、互动活动和科学启发的音乐节目。该项目将作为试点（我们希望）在未来举办更多活动，并以高水平的演讲者为基础，重点关注性别平衡和演讲者的总体多样性。无限航天局在天文学和空间科学领域开展这类活动方面有着良好的记录，这个试点项目将专业知识发展到粒子、加速器和更多的天体物理学。我们如何符合STFC的战略？展示STFC科技。与知名演讲者进行的一系列性别积极的科学对话将集中在STFC的核心科学领域，如空间、加速器和粒子物理。罗布和乔恩都有一个覆盖所有这些领域的关系网，他们的对话将突出英国项目的成就。建立正确的伙伴关系。科学太空棚与三大音乐/艺术节建立了合作关系，拥有对现代科学感兴趣的观众基础。罗伯和乔恩在公众参与方面都有良好的记录，他们将在这个项目中作为一个团队一起工作。扩大我们与不同受众的接触。该项目并没有明确针对不同的观众，但电影节的观众将包含广泛的人群。Dr Appleby将使用作为触觉碰撞器PI获得的专业知识来回应VI观众。提供高质素的公众参与活动及成果。科学对话和表演的计划是高质量的，在项目团队交付活动方面有着良好的记录。
