The SunSpaceArt, SSA, project is a diverse team of artists, scientists and educators, led by Dr Helen Mason OBE, who have been running STEAM (STEM + Arts) workshops in schools and Continued Professional Development, CPD, for teachers for the past 6 years. We target the 7-12 age range (KS2/3). The aim of the project is to educate and inspire children using the context of the Sun, Solar System, astronomy and space science. The SSA project is funded by STFC.Our focus is on school children from diverse backgrounds, most in need of science enrichment (in areas with a high Index of Multiple Deprivation, IMD, at schools with a high Pupil Premium, PP, percentage, >30%), also including SEND and BAME children. In addition, we have run many family 'drop-in' activities at science festivals across the UK. In 2020/21, the SSA team directly reached over 50 schools, 2300 children and 400 teachers and indirectly reached many thousands more. The feedback form both teachers and children is excellent. For example: 'The children were very engaged with both the scientific and artistic parts of the workshop, asking good questions in both and having lots of enthusiasm...I continue to be so impressed and delighted by what you do.' (teacher). 'I enjoyed making space our own way with art'. 'I liked seeing how big the planets and the stars are'. 'I learnt what telescopes can see and how amazing it is' (children). This STFC Legacy application, following on from an STFC SPARKS Award (01/09/21-30/03/23), would enable the SSA team to build on their recent success, reaching further, continuing to focus on schools most in need of support. The team plans to continue working with schools in London, Wales and Greater Manchester, the NE (PP > 30%), but is also keen to extend its reach, in Essex (with Kulvinder Johal, Primary Science Teaching Trust, PSTT, mentor) and in East Anglia (with Dr Matt Bothwell, Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge University). Sadly, the COVID19 pandemic has widened the UK's economic and educational inequalities, which has had a serious impact on some school children. Emma Wride (AstroCymru) gave an inspirational plenary address at INTERACT22. She says 'Raising aspirations and providing essential resources to pupils exposed to child poverty is fundamental in breaking the cycle of multiple generations of non-working families.' New team members have enriched the SSA project, bringing more skills and greater diversity. We are keen to develop a 'literacy' element in our workshops with Rebecca Chuks. We welcome artist, Maria Merridon, and solar scientists, Drs Steph Yardley and Ravi Desai. We plan to continue including and training young researchers.Our website (sunspaceart.org) provides blogs and feedback from SSA workshops, together with downloadable activity worksheets and videos (science and arts). New blogs and resources will be provided and uploaded. Further CPD sessions for teachers will be run (online and 'in person'), thus embedding the SSA project firmly in the educational landscape, building on collaborations with the Association of Science Educators, PSTT and Ogden Trust. The team are keen to run more family 'drop-in' activities at science festivals, with 'the Sun' installation (Prof Robert Walsh) and other festivals (Cheltenham, Cambridge). We are supported by individuals and organistations, which enables us to considerably extend our reach and impact.Dr Helen Mason, Emeritus Reader in Solar Physics, is an internationally renowned solar scientist at the University of Cambridge. In 2014, she was awarded an OBE for her Services to Higher Education and to Women in Science, Engineering and Technology. In 2018, she was awarded the Royal Astronomical Society's Annie Maunder Medal for Outreach. The SunSpaceArt team were the proud recipients of the 2020 Sir Arthur Clarke Team Award for Space Achievement in Education and Outreach. We aim to build on this success, leaving a lasting legacy of our project and our work.

SunSpaceArt，SSA，项目是一个由艺术家，科学家和教育工作者组成的多元化团队，由Helen Mason OBE博士领导，他在过去的6年里一直在学校举办STEAM（STEM +艺术）研讨会和教师持续专业发展（CPD）。我们的目标是7-12岁（KS 2/3）。该项目的目的是利用太阳、太阳系、天文学和空间科学教育和激励儿童。SSA项目由STFC资助。我们的重点是来自不同背景的学生，最需要科学知识的学生（在多学科发展指数高的地区，IMD，在学生溢价高的学校，PP，百分比>30%），也包括SEND和BAME儿童。此外，我们还在英国各地的科学节上举办了许多家庭“顺便参观”活动。在2020/21年度，SSA团队直接接触了50多所学校、2300名儿童和400名教师，并间接接触了数千名学生。老师和孩子们的反馈都很好。举例来说：“孩子们对研讨会的科学和艺术部分都非常投入，在这两个方面都提出了很好的问题，并且充满了热情。我仍然对你所做的事情印象深刻，感到高兴。”（老师）。“我喜欢用艺术创造我们自己的空间。“我喜欢看到行星和恒星有多大。“我学会了望远镜能看到什么，以及它是多么令人惊奇。这STFC遗产应用程序，从STFC SPARKS奖（01/09/21-30/03/23）之后，将使SSA团队建立在他们最近的成功，达到进一步，继续专注于最需要支持的学校。该团队计划继续与伦敦、威尔士和东北大曼彻斯特（PP > 30%）的学校合作，但也渴望扩大其影响力，在埃塞克斯（与Kulvinder Johal，小学科学教学信托基金，PSTT，导师）和东安格利亚（与Matt Bothwell博士，天文学研究所，剑桥大学）。可悲的是，COVID-19大流行扩大了英国的经济和教育不平等，对一些学童造成了严重影响。Emma Wride（AstroCymru）在INTERACT 22上发表了鼓舞人心的全体演讲。她说：“提高愿望并为面临儿童贫困的学生提供必要的资源，是打破多代不工作家庭循环的基础。“新的团队成员丰富了SSA项目，带来了更多的技能和更大的多样性。我们热衷于在我们与丽贝卡·楚克斯的工作坊中发展一种“扫盲”元素。我们欢迎艺术家Maria Merridon和太阳科学家Steph亚德利和Ravi Desai博士。我们计划继续吸收和培训年轻的研究人员。我们的网站（sunspaceart.org）提供来自SSA研讨会的博客和反馈，以及可下载的活动指南和视频（科学和艺术）。新的博客和资源将被提供和上传。将为教师举办更多的持续专业发展课程（在线和“面对面”），从而将SSA项目牢固地嵌入教育领域，与科学教育工作者协会，PSTT和奥格登信托基金会合作。该团队热衷于在科学节上举办更多的家庭“顺便”活动，包括“太阳”装置（罗伯特沃尔什教授）和其他节日（切尔滕纳姆，剑桥）。我们得到了个人和组织的支持，这使我们能够大大扩大我们的影响力和影响力。海伦·梅森博士，太阳物理学名誉读者，是剑桥大学的国际知名太阳科学家。在2014年，她被授予OBE她的服务，高等教育和妇女在科学，工程和技术。2018年，她被授予皇家天文学会的安妮蒙德奖章。SunSpaceArt团队是2020年亚瑟克拉克爵士团队教育和外展空间成就奖的荣誉获得者。我们的目标是在这一成功的基础上再接再厉，为我们的项目和工作留下持久的遗产。
