Astronomer Royal Telescopes in Scotland's Outdoor Residential Centres

以下是我们支持6PG案例的相关摘录：该项目符合STFC的所有五个公众参与目标。1)我们将通过提供与“大望远镜”和“黑暗天空”两个STFC主题相关的无障碍公众参与活动来展示STFC科技，将学校与STFC资助的研究直接联系起来。2)我们将建立持久的合作伙伴关系，将爱丁堡议会和爱丁堡大学联系起来，爱丁堡大学将领导和管理这笔赠款，皇家天文台爱丁堡游客中心(ROE-VC)将支持影响评估和后续计划，以及爱丁堡天文学会(ASE)的志愿者将帮助培训中心工作人员在业余天文方面的培训和参与现场活动。3)我们将培养和支持STEM影响者，培训户外教育者和客座教师。该项目还提供了一个新的机会来动员苏格兰业余天文部门，他们对天文学有着深深的热情，但发现与年轻群体建立正式联系具有挑战性。4)我们将提高标准望远镜体验对完整和多样化受众的覆盖范围，因为全校班级都可以参加这些住宿旅行，苏格兰的大多数学校都加入了居住户外中心计划。虽然我们的项目是为小学后期儿童量身定做的，但一旦建立，住宿中心也可以在放学季节与其他游客一起利用他们的望远镜体验。这将覆盖范围扩大到家庭、青年和成人群体，从母鸡聚会到通常可能不会与科学活动互动的艺术集体。5)我们将通过借鉴与我们的项目合作伙伴ROE-VC牵头的林业委员会相关的黑暗天空苏格兰计划的成功和经验，提供高质量的体验。我们专注于进行专业的影响评估研究，也将使我们能够量化最佳实践结果，并与英国各地的其他望远镜体验项目分享。

This is the relevant excerpt from our 6pg case for support:The project meets all five of STFC's aims for public engagement. 1) We will showcase STFC science and technology by delivering an accessible public engagement activity connected to both the "Big Telescopes" and "Dark Sky" STFC themes, linking schools directly with STFC-funded research.2) We will build an enduring partnership that connects Edinburgh Council, who run the residential centres in our trial, the University of Edinburgh who will lead and manage the grant, the Royal Observatory Edinburgh Visitor Centre (ROE-VC) who will support the impact assessment and follow-up programme, and the Astronomical Society of Edinburgh (ASE) whose volunteers will help to train the centre staff in amateur astronomy and join in with the live events. 3) We will develop and support STEM influencers, training outdoor educators and the visiting teachers. The project also presents a new opportunity to mobilise the Scottish amateur astronomy sector who are deeply passionate about astronomy, but can find it challenging to formally connect with a younger age group.4) We will improve the reach of the standard telescope experience to a complete and diverse audience, as the full school class is able to attend these residential trips, and the majority of schools in Scotland join a residential outdoor centre scheme. Whilst our project is tailored for late-primary school children, once established the residential centres can also use their telescope experience with other visitors in the out-of-school season. This extends the reach to family, youth and adult groups ranging from hen parties to art collectives who may not normally interact with a science event. 5) We will deliver a high-quality experience by building from the success and experiences of the related Dark Sky Scotland programme with the Forestry Commission, led by our project partner the ROE-VC. Our focus on conducting a professional impact assessment study will also allow us to quantify and share our best practice findings with other telescope experience projects across the UK.
