IN THE STEPS OF APOLLO: from the first Moon landing, to the Universe beyond...

这一外联项目将为人们提供一个独特的机会，体验宇宙之美，了解基础物理学、天文学和使命科学。它提供了一个机会，以达到1000的人新的STFC科学/STEM科目，并将给他们一个深刻的，身临其境的和完全难忘的经验;一个有可能激发终身的激情天文学和科学。它源于NMSW和'我们好奇'（WTC），布里斯托之间的合作。结果，“在阿波罗的步骤”，是一个多维的生产具有惊人的视觉效果，伟大的新音乐和简短的讲座连接的基本概念与行星研究，天体物理学和使命科学的最新发展。时间安排在阿波罗登月50周年之际，它庆祝这一里程碑式的成就，不仅是历史，而且是一个起点，未来太空探索的跳板在“总结”部分的全部细节。该项目旨在吸引和激励大量的，不同的观众，不仅是宇宙的纯粹的美丽和规模，而且还有我们自己探索和理解它的故事。我们希望阐明，从我们银河系的微小角落，我们的知识和范围已经超越了早期时代不可思议的空间和时间距离，在这个令人难以置信的发现之旅中，我们还有多远要走。外展项目有两个主要部分，一个针对小学和中学学生，另一个针对普通观众。学校我们将举办一个移动的圆顶学校之旅，旨在接触所有年龄和背景的学生，他们不会参加这种类型的活动。我们选择了20所我们认为将特别受益于该项目的学校，重点是那些处于或服务于一般和教育匮乏地区的学校。这些已参考政府报告“2015年英国债务指数”（DCLG 2015）确定。我们相信是项计划能提高学生对科学的兴趣及认识。通过推广STFC的适龄教育资源（例如为KS 2学生编写的“Hands on Universe”小册子），并在参与教师的支持下，我们希望利用这将产生的热情，并促进对科学的持续参与。我们希望为创造更具科学素养的一代学生做出贡献，激发了一些人对STEM学科的浓厚兴趣（最终导致科学事业），并帮助发展科学的更大多样性。向英国各地的天文馆收费，我们将获得尽可能广泛的观众。与学校项目一样，我们的目标是提高对科学的兴趣和理解的普遍水平。然而，我们认识到，通过天文馆访问生产的一些人很可能，就其性质而言，对天文学和相关领域有兴趣。因此，为了确保我们的影响力超越这一人群，我们还将在该地区的社区中心周围进行移动的圆顶参观。社区中心位于农村或半农村社区，或者与参与学校服务于同一社区。这意味着，学校项目将有助于提高儿童和青少年的科学资本，社区中心项目也将为他们的家庭和社区做同样的事情。我们还旨在为参与的科学家提供宝贵的参与经验（见“关键人员”部分）。他们不仅将参与规划和编写外联项目的讲座/谈话，他们还将自己记录谈话，在某些情况下（根据日记承诺），参与现场演示。

This outreach project will provide people with a unique opportunity to experience the beauty of the cosmos and to learn about fundamental physics, astronomy and mission science. It presents an opportunity to reach 1000's of people new to STFC science/STEM subjects and will give them a profound, immersive and utterly memorable experience; one with the potential to inspire life-long passions for astronomy and science.It stems from a collaboration between NMSW and 'We The Curious' (WTC), Bristol. The result, 'In the Steps of Apollo', is a multi-dimensional production featuring stunning visuals, great new music and short lectures linking fundamental concepts with the most recent developments in planetary research, astrophysics and mission science.Timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Apollo moon landings, it celebrates this landmark achievement, not just as history, but also as a starting point, a spring-board to future space exploration. Full details in the 'Summary' section.The project aims to engage and inspire a large, diverse audience, not only with the sheer beauty and magnitude of the universe, but also with the story of our own exploration and understanding of it. We hope to illuminate how, from our tiny corner of the Milky Way our knowledge and reach has extended beyond what in earlier eras would have been inconceivable distances of space and time, and how far we still have to go on this incredible voyage of discovery.There are two main strands of the outreach project, one aimed at primary and secondary school pupils and one aimed at the general audience.SchoolsWe will run a mobile dome schools tour aim reaching pupils of all ages and backgrounds, who wouldn't otherwise access this type of event. We have selected 20 schools which we believe will particularly benefit from the project, with a focus on those in, or serving, areas of general and educational deprivation. These have been identified with reference to the government report 'The English Indices of Deprivation 2015' (DCLG 2015). For further details see 'Summary' section.We believe the project will raise pupils' interest in and understanding of science. By promoting STFC's age-appropriate educational resources (such as the 'Hands on Universe' booklet for KS2 pupils) and with the support of participating teachers, we hope to harness the enthusiasm that this will generate and foster an ongoing engagement with science.We hope to contribute to creating a more scientifically literate generation of pupils, to inspire in some a profound interest in STEM subjects (leading ultimately to careers in science) and to help develop greater diversity in science.The General AudienceBy distributing the production free-of-charge to planetaria across the UK we will achieve the widest possible audience. As with the Schools Project, we aim to raise the general level of interest in and understanding of science. However, we recognise that some of those accessing the production via planetaria are likely, by their nature, to have an existing interest in astronomy and related areas. So, to ensure that we reach beyond this demographic, we will also run a mobile dome tour of the production around the region's community centres.The community centres are in rural or semi-rural communities or are those serving the same communities as the participating schools. This means that, while the schools project will help to raise the science capital of children and young people, the community centre programme will do the same for their families and communities.We also aim to provide valuable engagement experience to the participating scientists (see 'Key Personnel' section). Not only will they be involved in planning and writing the lectures/talks for the outreach project, they will also record the talks themselves and, in some instances (subject to diary commitments), be involved in presenting them live.
