Science on Stage - Illuminating Science Education Festival 2015

舞台上的科学（SonS） www.science-on-stage.eu汇集了来自欧洲各地的科学教师，分享科学教学的最佳实践。这个节日的主要目的是交流教学思想，激励教育工作者，提高他们的技能、知识和热情，从而鼓励学生考虑从事科学或工程方面的职业。科学登上舞台，欧洲…是一个面向各级学校科技教师的网络…为教学思想的交流提供了一个欧洲平台……强调科学和技术在学校和公众中的重要性。2015年6月，英国科学舞台（www.scienceonstage.org.uk）将在伦敦举办这个国际节日……350名代表（4天）…另有300名日间访客（6月19日开放日）…有史以来规模最大的英国教师代表团（多达70人）…该节日第一次来到英国…教师通过动手展台展示项目……我们向STFC申请的资金将用于支付15名教师作为正式代表出席的费用，我们将根据他们的项目最符合STFC感兴趣的研究领域来选择他们。我们的目的是让这些教师有更多的时间作为一个群体相互联系，并有可能为STFC的研究领域提供资源作为遗产。我们预计，由于他们的参与，至少会有5项国际合作。

Science on Stage (SonS) www.science-on-stage.eu brings together science teachers from across Europe to share best practice in science teaching. The main objective of the festival is the exchange of teaching ideas to motivate educators, to enhance their skills, knowledge and enthusiasm, and as a consequence encourage schoolchildren to consider a career in science or engineering. SCIENCE ON STAGE EUROPE ...is a network of and for science and technology teachers of all school levels ...provides a European platform for the exchange of teaching ideas ...highlights the importance of science and technology at school and among the publicIn June 2015 Science on Stage UK (www.scienceonstage.org.uk) is hosting this international festival in London ...350 full delegates (4 days) ...another 300 day guests (open day 19th June) ...largest ever delegation of UK teachers (up to 70) ...first time the festival has been to the UK ...teachers present projects through hands-on stands ...some provide workshops and presentations/performances The funds we are applying to STFC for would be used to cover the costs of 15 teachers attending as full delegates, to be selected because their projects most closely match the research areas of STFC interest. It is our intention that these teachers would be given additional time to network with each other as a group, with the possibility of producing resources that target STFC research areas as a legacy. We expect at least 5 international collaborations to happen as a result of their participation.
