Light for Wales - Diamond Light Source Exhibition at the National Eisteddfod of Wales

威尔士国家文化节是威尔士最重要的文化节，主要用威尔士语举行。这是一个为期8天的节日，每年8月初在威尔士的不同地点举行，2013年在登比，2014年在拉内利，2015年在蒙哥马利郡。全国性的比赛将于2016年在位于威尔士边境蒙茅斯郡的阿伯加文尼举行。每个节日的总出席人数通常超过16万。该场地包括一个可容纳3，500人的主展馆，以及大约10个较小的卫星展馆，包括科学技术馆，所有这些展馆都被大约300个商业和其他展台所包围。在2012年至2015年的每一届世博会上，分配给科学的总空间是：展馆和其他建筑（600平方米）和外部展览（400平方米）。在过去的三年里，科学展览的参观人数在8天内每年都超过20,000人。促进公众对科学的了解-为参观者提供创新的机会，使他们更好地了解科学和技术（STEM）学科的各个方面。为科技和金融中心设施和威尔士“科学生产”机构（如大学）提供机会，在当地、区域和全球展示其成就。在STEM科目中创造兴趣和兴奋，从而提高科学KS 3，KS 4和KS 5的成绩，并激励学生。为了鼓励年轻人考虑在STEM学科的职业生涯。在2015年，一个涉及钻石光源的团体参加了由STFC赠款资助的材料的国家奖学金。该项目的目的是：-向非典型观众推广钻石科学节的工作，即科学节的参观者不会是“标准”的科学节观众-支持和突出科学节上的其他展览，这些展览将专门涵盖钻石科学节进行的一些研究-激励年轻人思考STEM学科的职业生涯-突出钻石科学节所做工作对社会的影响-利用去年活动制作的专业威尔士语资源。为了建立信任，理解和公众对钻石所做工作的支持-为了突出钻石所做研究的国家方面，即虽然总部设在牛津郡，但它是一个国家设施，也是“威尔士”科学。为了建立在钻石以前参与的成功，但在不同的地点和观众。为在钻石工作的威尔士科学家提供一个与公众接触的平台

The National Eisteddfod is the premier cultural festival of Wales, held mainly in Welsh. It is an 8 day festival held annually during early August at different locations within Wales, Denbigh in 2013, Llanelli in 2014 and Montgomeryshire in 2015. The National Eisteddfod will be held at Abergavenny in 2016 which is located in Monmouthshire, on the Welsh border. Total attendance at each festival usually exceeds 160,000. The site includes a main pavilion of capacity 3,500, with approximately 10 smaller satellite pavilions, including the Science & Technology pavilion, all surrounded by some 300 commercial and other stands. At each of the 2012-2015 Eisteddfodau, the total space allocated to Science was: pavilion and other buildings (600sqm) and external exhibitions (400 sqm). Attendance at the Science Exhibition has consistently been in excess of 20,000 over 8 days for each of the past 3 years.The aims of the science tent as a whole are:1. Promote the Public Understanding of Science - To provide innovative opportunities for visitors to become better informed about various aspects of Science and Technology (STEM) subjects.2. To provide STFC facilities and Welsh "science-producing" bodies such as Universities with an opportunity to showcase their achievements locally, regionally and globally.3. Create interest and excitement in STEM subjects leading to improved attainment in Science KS3, KS4 and KS5 and to motivate students.4. To stimulate young people to consider careers in STEM subjects.In 2015 a group heavily involving Diamond Light Source attended the National Eisteddfod using material funded by an STFC grant. The activity was well received and we have been approached to return with a varied activity.The aims of this project are:- To promote the work done at Diamond to non-typical audiences i.e. the festival visitors will not be a 'standard' science festival audience- To support and highlight other exhibitions at the festival that will be specifically covering some of the research carried out at Diamond- To inspire youngsters to think about careers in STEM subjects- To highlight the impact on society of the work done at Diamond- To utilise the specialist welsh language resources produced for last year's event.- To build trust, understanding and support from the public for the work done at Diamond- To highlight the national aspect of the research done by Diamond i.e. although based in Oxfordshire it is a national facility and is also 'Welsh' science.- To build on the successes of Diamond's previous involvement at the Eisteddfod, but in a different location and audience.- To provide a platform for Welsh scientists working at Diamond to engage with the public
