Microscopy Summer School for GCSE Students

该项目的目标是：1.为贫困地区学校的普通中等教育证书水平(15-18岁)的学生提供基本实验室工作、数据处理和科学写作的经验。这些技能对任何有兴趣从事科学或技术职业的人来说都是至关重要的，也将在学生随后的高中/学院/大学申请和职业生涯中使用。还将提供使用Adobe Photoshop、Paintshop Pro、CorelDraw和/或Illustrator等图像处理软件程序的基本培训。开始在听众面前演讲，包括使用Microsoft Powerpoint的基本培训。演讲在许多职业中都是一项非常重要的技能，在高等教育中也是必修课。2.激励这些学生追求行星科学的职业生涯。我们的目标受众将处于他们接受教育的阶段，当他们开始考虑职业选择时。通过这所陨石学校，我们的目标是为那些经常没有获得详细职业信息的学生提供独特和具有挑战性的工作经验，包括令人兴奋的火星陨石样本。3.使学生能够提供他们的技能和能力的实物证据，以帮助未来的大学或工作申请。印刷和装订的项目文件将在面试情况下提供优势。

The aims of this project are:1. To provide GCSE-level students (15-18 years of age) from schools in underprivileged areas with experience in basic lab work, data processing and scientific writing. These skills are of vital importance to anyone interested in pursuing a scientific or technical career, and will also be of use during the students subsequent high school/college/university applications and careers. Basic training with image manipulation software programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, CorelDraw and/or Illustrator will also be provided.2. To provide an initiation into speaking in front of an audience, including basic training with Microsoft Powerpoint. Public speaking is a highly valued and important skill in many careers, and is manditatory during higher education. 2. To inspire these students to pursue a career in planetary sciences. Our target audience will be at the stage in their education when they begin to think about career options. With this Meteorites School we aim to provide unique and challenging work experience, involving exciting martian meteorite samples, to students who are often not provided with detailed career information. 3. To enable the students to produce physical evidence of their skills and abilities, in order to assist future University or job applications. Printed and bound project documents will provide an advantage during an interview situation.
