Awesome Athletes is a complete science day package on the theme of human, animal and machine movement. It brings the expertise of professional university researchers, packaged in a format that is accessible to primary school teachers and fun and exciting for children. This project provides all the resources, materials and know-how to put on such an event. It also includes a mechanism to allow the day to be disseminated to many more schools than would be possible through the conventional route of a researcher from the University visiting a school.The day begins with a multimedia, scripted, assembly to introduce both the subject and the concept of a research science as a way of discovering information about the world. Following the assembly, class teachers can 'pick and mix' a selection of activities, each targeted at a National Curriculum area. These activities cover a range of subjects (including drama and literacy) but all have a science element. All activities suggest work to do beyond the day to extend the learning opportunities beyond the day and also the school setting. At the end of the day there is a plenary session, which can be either class or whole school based. This takes the form of a computer based competition/quiz where the children answer questions using remote control type handsets. Feedback and further guided discussion can easily be incorporated in this session.In addition to delivering the day 'in person' to 30 schools in the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire LEA areas, the Awesome Athletes team will put on 4 seminar based workshops to widen the dissemination of the day to representatives of 200 primary schools nationally. These workshops will include presentations by the researchers and a primary head teacher to introduce the principles behind the day and demonstrate how the resources can be accessed. The schools participating in these workshops (and the local schools) will become members of a 'cooperative network' where issues can be discussed, problems solved and new material and practice shared. Additionally, similar seminar will be given for community outreach organisations from other universities to encourage wider dissemination of the movement themed day and to suggest that it be employed as a strategy for other primary science engagement activities.

Awesome Athletes是一个以人类、动物和机器运动为主题的完整科学日套餐。它带来了专业的大学研究人员的专业知识，包装在一个格式，是小学教师和有趣和令人兴奋的儿童访问。该项目提供了举办此类活动的所有资源、材料和技术诀窍。它还包括一个机制，使这一天可以传播到更多的学校，而不是通过大学研究人员访问学校的传统途径。这一天以多媒体，脚本，集会开始，介绍研究科学的主题和概念，作为发现世界信息的一种方式。在大会之后，班主任可以“挑选和混合”一系列活动，每一项活动都针对一个国家课程领域。这些活动涵盖一系列科目（包括戏剧和识字），但都有科学内容。所有活动都建议在一天之外做工作，以扩大学习机会，超越一天，也超越学校环境。在一天结束时，有一个全体会议，这可以是班级或整个学校为基础。这是一种基于计算机的竞赛/问答比赛，孩子们使用遥控类型的手机回答问题。反馈和进一步的指导讨论可以很容易地纳入本次会议。除了提供一天的“人"在诺丁汉和诺丁汉郡莱亚地区的30所学校，真棒运动员团队将把4个研讨会为基础的讲习班，以扩大一天的传播到全国200所小学的代表。这些研讨会将包括研究人员和小学校长的演讲，介绍一天背后的原则，并演示如何获取资源。参加这些讲习班的学校（和当地学校）将成为一个“合作网络”的成员，在这个网络中可以讨论问题，解决问题，分享新的材料和做法。此外，其他大学的社区外展组织也将举办类似的研讨会，以鼓励更广泛地传播运动主题日，并建议将其作为其他小学科学参与活动的战略。
