Diamond Board Game engaging students

项目摘要

Rising costs of public engagement mean that it is harder to deliver activities inclusively across the country. This is set against rising pressure on teachers and a massive STEM skills shortage. We seek to address this through the development and distribution of 'Diamond the Board Game' ('DTBG'), which aims to provide a cheap, reusable and entertaining way to directly engage students in STEM careers and the underpinning scientific experiments (all of which highlight the cutting-edge science carried out at Diamond). DTBG is currently at the final prototype stage, and ready for larger scale and more cost effective production. The aim of this grant is to bulk manufacture 1000 copies of the game, which can then be distributed primarily to the schools aligned to the Wonder Initiative. We therefore aim to prioritise schools with a high proportion of free school meals, and will also charge for postage on a case by case basis as we will consider requests for postage costs from those schools who cannot afford postage. The introduction of 12 distinct careers and 36 interdisciplinary scientific projects during the game directly links to the mandatory careers guidance provision under the Gatsby Foundation recommendations that have been adopted by the government and specifically complies with benchmarks 1,2 and 4 for good career guidance. We therefore want to support schools to achieve their mandatory provision goals through the use of DTBG, which would be beneficial to many schools who are currently struggling to hit their targets for this. There are also benefits to Diamond as nurturing interests in STEM from an early age could be an opportunity for recruitment in later years.

公众参与成本的上升意味着在全国范围内开展包容性活动变得更加困难。这是为了应对教师压力日益增大和 STEM 技能严重短缺的情况。我们寻求通过开发和发行“Diamond 棋盘游戏”（“DTBG”）来解决这个问题，该游戏旨在提供一种廉价、可重复使用且有趣的方式，让学生直接参与 STEM 职业和基础科学实验（所有这些都突出了 Diamond 开展的尖端科学）。 DTBG 目前处于最后的原型阶段，准备进行更大规模和更具成本效益的生产。这笔赠款的目的是批量生产 1000 份游戏副本，然后主要分发给与 Wonder Initiative 相关的学校。因此，我们的目标是优先考虑免费校餐比例较高的学校，并根据具体情况收取邮资，因为我们会考虑那些无力承担邮资的学校的邮资请求。游戏中引入的 12 个不同职业和 36 个跨学科科学项目直接与政府采纳的盖茨比基金会建议中的强制性职业指导条款相关，并且特别符合良好职业指导的基准 1,2 和 4。因此，我们希望支持学校通过使用 DTBG 来实现其强制性规定目标，这将有利于许多目前正在努力实现其目标的学校。 Diamond 也有一个好处，因为从小培养对 STEM 的兴趣可能会成为以后招聘的机会。
