Space is the Place

该项目旨在建立在牛津物理的工作，从事服务不足的社区。这将通过与当地组织建立强有力的建设性战略伙伴关系来实现，这些组织为社区提供支持和服务。因此，我们通过与适当的合作伙伴合作，为STFC公众参与战略的目标做出贡献，以接触低科学资本的受众，并提供满足所有相关方需求的优秀STEM参与。具体而言，该项目的目标可以概括如下：目标1：允许社区团体使用共同创造的方法来探索STFC支持的研究，以激发兴趣，学习和成就。目标2：通过嘉年华上的公开表演，激励更广泛的公众更广泛地参与STFC支持的研究和物理学。目标3：加强牛津物理与当地社区成员和组织的联系，加强其长期运行的观星+计划，并鼓励持久参与STEM。目标#4：利用狂欢节艺术的创造性实践和表演模式，将来自不同文化的各种艺术学科结合起来，我们将培养来自低收入背景的广泛参与者的技能和信心。目标社区的科学资本水平可能较低（即科学经验、知识和与科学的联系），本项目旨在通过让参与者分享科学知识、提出问题和表达自己的观点来建立科学资本。该项目还将使研究人员和社区团体能够建立关系，以表明科学和技术是相关的、协作的和有益的。

This project aims to build upon Oxford Physics's work in engaging under-served communities. This will be achieved by developing strong and constructive strategic partnerships with local organisations that provide support and provision for the communities. We are thus contributing to the aims of the STFC Public Engagement Strategy by working with appropriate partners to reach low science capital audiences, and to deliver excellent STEM engagement that meets the needs of all parties involved. Specifically, the goals of this project can be summarised as follows:GOAL#1: Allow community groups to explore STFC-enabled research using methods of co-creation to spark interest, learning and engagement.GOAL#2: Through public performance at the Carnival inspire the wider public to engage with STFC-enabled research and physics more broadly.GOAL#3: Strengthen Oxford Physics' ties to local community members and organisations with a legacy of enhancing its long running Stargazing+ programme and encouraging lasting participation in STEM.GOAL#4: Using the Carnival arts model of creative practice and performance, which unites a diverse range of artistic disciplines from different cultures, we will develop the skills and confidence of a broad range of participants from low income backgrounds.The targeted communities are likely to have low levels of science capital (i.e. experiences in, knowledge of, and connections with science) and this project will aim to build science capital by allowing participants to share, question and express themselves in science. This project will also allow researchers and community groups to build relationships to show that science and technology are relevant, collaborative and rewarding.
