Gamification of Outreach and Learning: Creation of Physics and Astronomy Escape Rooms

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The overall aim of this award is to create, deploy, and evaluate a suite of games constructed in an "escape room" manner based on science and infrastructure supported directly by STFC.This is an entirely new way to conduct outreach and education that to our knowledge has only been tried previously in a few places around the world, and never with STFC science and technology. The impact will be the generation of a new outreach methodology with direct relevance to STFC science that is able to reach audiences that other approaches may not have got to before. It will create a legacy of deployable escape rooms for the University of Hull staff to exhibit at relevant events, and a set of instructions that teachers and practitioners around the world can subsequently make use of in their own outreach escape room activities.
