中文摘要

40年前的1977年5月25日,随着第一部电影在美国32家影院上映,《星球大战》开始了它在全球范围内的成功故事。从那时起,这部著名的系列剧激发了几代人的想象力。通过互动工作坊,我们建议让加速器科学以外的STFC工作人员以及一批中学儿童(7/8年级)参与STFC科学,让他们沉浸在以星球大战为主题的环境中。在活动日,我们将说明和解释什么是科学,什么是电影中的虚构。这将包括例如标志性的光剑背后的物理,超空间,当然还有...力。此外,我们将把星球大战宇宙与利物浦物理系目前由STFC资助的研究联系起来,并展示这是如何像星球大战中所展示的那样令人兴奋的。最后,我们将有许多实践活动和与我们的研究人员交谈的机会。这与STFC的公共参与战略完美地结合在一起,我们将利用星球大战来解释我们社会目前面临的挑战,展示最新的研究成果,并利用这次活动来消除人们对大自然如何运作的误解,并展示如何需要创新的想法来克服这些挑战-提高对加速器科学作为当前研发基础技术重要性的理解。活动还将通过支持活动的在线活动激励参与者和更广泛的公众考虑进一步的研究培训和职业生涯。
英文摘要
40 years ago, on 25 May 1977, Star Wars began its world-wide success story with the first movie being launched at 32 cinemas in the USA. Since then the famous series has sparked the imagination of generations. Through interactive workshops, we propose to engage STFC staff outside of accelerator science, as well as cohorts of secondary school children (years 7/8) with STFC science by immersing them into a Star Wars-themed environment. On the event days, we will illustrate and explain what is science and what is fiction in the movies. This will include for example the physics behind the iconic light sabre, hyperspace, and of course...the force. In addition, we will link the Star Wars universe to current STFC-funded research in Liverpool's Physics Departments and show how this can be as exciting as what is shown in Star Wars. Finally, there will be many hands-on activities and opportunities to speak with our researchers.This ties in perfectly with STFC public engagement strategy in that we will use Star Wars to explain the challenges our society currently faces, present recent research results and use the event to dispel misconceptions about how nature 'ticks' and show how innovative ideas are needed to overcome these challenges - improving the understanding of the importance of accelerator science as underpinning technology for current R&D. The events shall also motivate participants and the wider public through online campaigns supporting the events to consider further training and careers in research.
