Gamification of Outreach and Learning: Creation of Physics and Astronomy Escape Rooms

该奖项的总体目标是创建、部署和评估一套基于STFC直接支持的科学和基础设施以“逃生室”方式构建的游戏。这是一种全新的外展和教育方式，据我们所知，这种方式以前只在世界上几个地方尝试过，从未使用STFC科学和技术。其影响将是产生一种与STFC科学直接相关的新的推广方法，能够接触到其他方法以前可能无法接触到的受众。它将创建一个可部署逃生室的遗产，供赫尔大学的工作人员在相关活动中展示，以及一套指导，世界各地的教师和从业者随后可以在他们自己的外展逃生室活动中使用。

The overall aim of this award is to create, deploy, and evaluate a suite of games constructed in an "escape room" manner based on science and infrastructure supported directly by STFC.This is an entirely new way to conduct outreach and education that to our knowledge has only been tried previously in a few places around the world, and never with STFC science and technology. The impact will be the generation of a new outreach methodology with direct relevance to STFC science that is able to reach audiences that other approaches may not have got to before. It will create a legacy of deployable escape rooms for the University of Hull staff to exhibit at relevant events, and a set of instructions that teachers and practitioners around the world can subsequently make use of in their own outreach escape room activities.
