In2scienceUK Sparks

到目前为止，In 2Science英国慈善机构已经帮助了700多名年轻人，其中只有25人有机会接触到物理学家，尽管这一人群中的300多名年轻人每年都会申请进入这一领域的研究。这笔赠款将资助新的工作，以支持50名来自最贫穷背景的年轻人，通过由STFC研究人员主持的工作安置，获得对基于物理学的高水平研究的两周洞察。这些年轻人有机会从事高水平的科学研究，制作他们所从事工作的博客和视频，还可以参加由in2Science英国团队提供的高质量研讨会和技能日，使他们能够更好地了解STEM的职业道路和进入大学的机会。这项工作将重点支持伦敦、牛津和剑桥的当地年轻人。100%将来自低收入背景(获得免费学校餐，父母没有学位)。我们知道，通过我们经过试验和测试的计划(独立评估)，通过将缺乏科学资本和机会的低收入背景的年轻人与研究人员聚集在一起，这可以对他们决定进入学位和基于研究的职业产生重大影响。与其他行业相比，STEM行业的薪水高出20%，我们的愿景是，在英国，2Science将为这些年轻人提供一条摆脱经济不平等的途径。这笔赠款的目的有短期和长期目标。短期内。我们将与50名年轻人(包括他们的家人和老师)一起工作，他们将从英国星火计划中获得进步，他们更自信，更博览群书，更了解STFC资助的研究和相关职业，但也发展了对当今世界成功至关重要的专业技能。在该计划期间，年轻人将制作博客、图片和视频(见附件中的例子)，解释STFC-公众可以访问并将传播到他们的学校的研究。家庭和公众提高STFC资助的研究的参与度。50多名STFC资助的研究人员将参与这项公众参与活动，并拥有大量证据，他们可以通过视频、博客和图像展示这一点。长期合作英国将在STFC社区内建立网络，并确保这些关系在未来几年保持下去。增加来自低收入家庭的年轻人升入大学学习物理和从事研究工作的人数。

To date the in2scienceUK charity has worked with over 700 young people, only 25 of which have had access to physicists which is despite 300+ young people from this demographic applying every year to gain access to this area of research. This grant will fund new work to support 50 young people from the poorest backgrounds to gain 2 week insights into high level Physics based research through a work placement hosted by STFC researchers. These young people have the opportunity to engage in high level research science, make blogs and videos of the work they are engaged in and also access high quality workshops and skills day delivered by the in2scienceUK team) enabling them to get a greater understanding of STEM career pathways and university access. This work will focus on supporting local young people in London, Oxford and Cambridge. 100% will be from low income backgrounds (receive free school meals and have parents who do not hold a degree).We know that through our trialed and tested programme (independently assessed) that by bringing together young people from low income backgrounds who lack science capital and opportunities, together with researchers this can have substantial impact in their decisions to progress to degrees and research based careers. With 20% higher salaries available in STEM careers compared to other sectors, our vision is that in2scienceUK will provide a way out of economic inequality for these young people.The aim of this grant has short and long term aims. Short-term.The 50 young people we'll work with (in addition to their families and teachers) will progress from the in2scienceUK Sparks programme being more confident, well read, more informed about STFC-funded research, associated careers but also have developed the professional skills critical for success in the world today.During the programme young people will formulate blogs, images and videos (see attached case for examples) that explain STFC-research that is accessible to the public and will be disseminated to their schools, families and public raising the engagement of STFC-funded research.More than 50 STFC-funded researchers will have participated in this public engagement activity and have substantial evidence of this which they can show via videos, blogs and images.Long-termIn2scienceUK will build up networks within the STFC community and ensure these relationships are sustained for years to come. Increase the number of young people from low income backgrounds progressing to university to study physics and into research careers.
