- 让学校学生和公众参与并接受STFC科学和技术教育。我们将突出STFC支持的科学，STFC设施/设备，以及在设施工作的人。展示不同的就业机会提供给学生在STEM科目。我们将概述所需的教育和资格，可能的职业道路和突出职业的日常工作，以深入了解年轻人的STEM职业。开发高质量、创新的教育资源，向公众和学校突出STFC的科学技术。我们将利用虚拟现实等创新技术，更好地与学生和公众互动。这也将使用户以前所未有的全新和更好的方式看到和探索STFC科学设施和地点。测试在学校教育中使用虚拟现实和360度图尔斯等新技术的有效性。接触不同的受众，包括学生和公众，特别是那些不容易获得STEM活动的人。该试点项目将针对南威尔士的英语和威尔士语中等学校，确保威尔士两种语言的使用者都能获得这些创新和吸引人的资源。对在校儿童的影响将通过提高科学知识，科学设施的知识和有关STEM相关职业的信息。虚拟图尔斯参观，连同沿着与博物馆有关的资源，将侧重于教育用户了解与每一设施有关的科学、技术和工程。这些虚拟机将在课堂上运行，并在斯旺西奥里尔科学展览中心作为有组织的学校访问该场地的一部分。我们将通过使用前和后问卷评估项目来衡量学生学到了多少。其次，学生将通过简短的采访和每个工厂员工的传记（嵌入在VT和相关材料中）了解与每个工厂相关的可能职业。学生们将被要求观看/阅读/聆听每个员工的个人故事，以回答作为参观的一部分提出的问题。作为该项目的一部分，将制作的VT是一种吸引人的创新方式，以捕捉公众的想象力。在公共活动中，需要一个“哇”的因素来吸引人们更多地了解科学设施，我们认为VT是一个很好的方式。Oriel Science的公众参观者和该项目团队参加的公共活动的参与者将能够与VT接触，促进STFC科学和设施。对STFC的影响将通过提高对STFC整体的认识，以及STFC完成/资助的科学，以及与STFC相关的设施的存在。通过在学校、公共科学中心和节日活动中提供虚拟培训，我们将帮助提高对STFC及其设施的认识。通过虚拟技术中的信息，3D模型，对现场工作人员的采访和课堂练习，我们将通过与每个设施相关的不同STEM领域（相关课程链接请参阅其他文件）。STFC的职业、角色和个人故事也将在VT中推广，展示STFC作为STEM领域的主要雇主。

- Engage and educate school students and the general public in STFC science and technology. We will highlight the science supported by STFC, the STFC facilities/equipment, and the people who work at the facilities.- Showcase the different career opportunities available to school students in STEM subjects. We will outline the education and qualifications needed, possible career paths and the day-to-day work of the highlighted careers, to give a insightful look at STEM careers for young people.- Develop high quality, innovative educational resources that highlight STFC's science & technology to the public and schools. We will use innovative new technologies, such as virtual reality, to better engage with students and the general public. This will also users to see and explore STFC science facilities and locations in a completely new and better way that ever before.- Test the effectiveness of using new technologies, such as Virtual Reality and 360 degree tours, in school education.- Reach diverse audiences, both school students and the general public, especially those who do not have easy access to STEM activities. This pilot project will target both English and Welsh medium schools in South Wales, ensuring that speakers of both langauges in Wales have access to these innovative and engaging resources. The impact on school children will be through improved science knowledge, knowledge of science facilities and information on STEM-related careers. The virtual tours (VTs), along with the curriculum-linked accompanying resources, will focus on educating users about the science, technology and engineering associated with each facility. These VTs will be run both in the classroom, and in the Oriel Science Exhibition Centre in Swansea as part of organised school visits to that venue. We will measure how much the students have learnt through the evaluation of the project using pre- and post-questionnaires. Secondly, the students will learn about the possible careers linked to each facility, through short interviews and biographies of employees at each facility (embedded in the VTs and associated materials). The students will be required to watch/read/listen to each employee's personal story in order to answer questions that are posed as part of the tour.The VTs that will be produced as part of this project are an engaging and innovative way of capturing the imagination of members of the public. At public events, a 'wow' factor is needed to draw people in to learn more about scientific facilities, and we see VTs as a great way of doing this. Public visitors to Oriel Science and attendees at public events that this project team attends will be able to engage with the VTs, promoting STFC science and facilities.The impact on the STFC will be through an increase in awareness of STFC as a whole, and of the science done/funded by STFC, and the existence of the facilities that are associated with STFC. By delivering the VTs in schools, public science centres and festivals, we will help to raise awareness of STFC and its facilities. Through information in the VTs, 3D models, interviews with staff at the sites and classroom exercises, we will run through the different STEM areas that are associated with each facility (see additional document for related curriculum links). The careers, roles and personal stories which are part of STFC will also be promoted in the VTs, showcasing STFC as a key employer in STEM areas.
