Harwell Open Week will take place from 2nd to 6th July 2024, with an anticipated 10,000 members of the public expected to visit the site over the full event, of which approximately 2,000 will attend activities as part of two school open days. Historically, the school open days have been oversubscribed, meaning some schools are turned away due to space and logistics constraints, and in some cases, schools have been unable to attend due to financial constraints. This project will address the unmet needs of primary schools unable to attend Harwell Open Week and deepen connections with those who do attend. To do this, we will supply every class with a tried and tested educational resource built around a STFC-enabled citizen science project ("Virus Factory in Schools"), host online Q&As between schools and researchers, and provide those schools who could not attend the open week with alternative in-person engagement at Harwell Campus. In doing so, this project will widen STFC reach beyond the capacity of the main campus event, highlight STFC-enabled and people-powered research, and give all students direct contact with researchers working at Harwell Campus.

哈维尔开放周将于2024年7月2日至6日举行，预计将有10，000名公众参观整个活动，其中约2，000人将参加两个学校开放日的活动。从历史上看，学校开放日的报名人数过多，这意味着一些学校因空间和后勤限制而被拒绝，在某些情况下，学校因财政限制而无法参加。该项目将解决无法参加哈威尔开放周的小学未满足的需求，并加深与参加者的联系。要做到这一点，我们将为每个班级提供围绕STFC支持的公民科学项目（“学校病毒工厂”）构建的久经考验的教育资源，举办学校和研究人员之间的在线问答，并为那些无法参加开放周的学校提供替代性的亲自参与。在这样做的过程中，该项目将扩大STFC的影响范围，超出校园活动的能力，突出STFC启用和人为动力的研究，并让所有学生与在哈维尔校园工作的研究人员直接接触。
