Oriel Science

猎户座科学的目标是：在社区中展示科学。猎户座科学是一个面向公众的展览和扩展空间，展示大学的STEM研究。我们的愿景是继续举办滚动的、主题的、以科学为基础的展览，目标是我们的两个目标受众：学生和更广泛的公众。在画廊旁边，猎户座科学将举办一个研讨会，在每个展览的同时提供一个学校计划。我们创建了无障碍、信息丰富和互动的展览，重点关注大学STEM社区的工作和合作。我们通过科学主题带领参观者进行一次发自内心的旅行，点燃他们探索该主题的好奇心，并在他们的想象力中留下持久的遗产。我们将鼓励年轻游客在学校选择STEM科目，从而在大学获得STEM学位，并进一步培养老年游客的科学素养。猎户科学于2016年9月10日在斯旺西大学主办的英国科学节结束时推出。我们每个周末都向公众开放，在10月的期中，我们为学龄儿童举办了一系列特别的活动和讲习班。我们的第一个展览以“时间”为主题，有16个展品，包括STFC大型强子对撞机路演、一系列粒子物理探测器(云室、盖革计数器、MX-10探测器和Muon天文台)，展示了亚原子粒子在非常短的时间内衰变。我们有一个黑洞附近时间膨胀的视听动画，这是一种身临其境的体验，展示了南方恒星的时间推移视频和从旅行者号航天器上拍摄的音轨。一面30米长的“时间墙”展示了宇宙大爆炸的历史。欢迎公众进入会场的是一辆“回到未来”的DeLorean和一辆Tardis的“时光机”，从外面可以看到。我们现在正在计划我们的第二个主题展览，“图像”，这项申请为STFC在这个项目中的足迹寻求资金。与这一主题相关的展品有很多：天文、粒子和核物理、强光源等。因此，“图像”展览是吸引参观者了解STFC科学的绝佳机会，从而加深他们对这一科学和技术的理解和欣赏。

Oriel Science's aim is: Showcasing Science in the Community.Oriel Science is a public-facing exhibition and outreach space showcasing the University's STEM research. Our vision is to continue hosting rolling, thematic, science-based exhibitions aimed at our two target audiences: school students and the wider public. Alongside the gallery, Oriel Science will house a workshop offering a schools programme in parallel with each exhibition. We create accessible, informative and interactive exhibitions focused on the work and collaborations of the University's STEM community. We take visitors on a visceral journey through a scientific theme, ignite their curiosity to explore that theme, and leave a lasting legacy in their imagination. We will encourage younger visitors to choose STEM subjects at school leading to STEM degrees in University and further develop the scientific literacy of older visitors.Oriel Science launched on 10th September 2016 at the end of the British Science Festival which was hosted by Swansea University. We are open to the public every weekend and also during the October half-term where we held a range of special activities and workshops designed for school-aged students. We average 2,000 visitors per month (excluding half-term) and have had significant media coverage.Our first exhibition is based on the theme of "Time" and features 16 exhibits including the STFC LHC Roadshow, a range of particle physics detectors (a cloud chamber, Geiger counter, MX-10 detector and muon observatory) illustrating that sub-atomic particle decay after a very short TIME. We have an audio visual animation of time dilation near black holes, an immersive experience showing a time lapse video of the southern stars with a sound track taken from the Voyager spacecraft. A 30 metre "time wall" has an animation of the history of the Universe from the Big Bang. The public is welcomed to the venue by a "Back to the Future" DeLorean and a Tardis "time machine" enticingly situated to be visible from the outside.We are now planning our second themed exhibition, "Image", and this application seeks funding for an STFC footprint in this venture. There are many obvious STFC-related exhibits related to this theme: astronomical, particle and nuclear physics, intense light sources, etc. The "Image" exhibition therefore represents a fantastic opportunity to engage visitors with STFC Science so that their understanding and appreciation of this science and technology is developed.
