Discovery Planet Pop-Up

通过一个令人兴奋的计划，在两年的时间里，每年举办六次实践研讨会，从位于商业街中心的弹出式商店提供，我们将在科学家和服务不足的观众之间建立长期的关系。参与者将培养积极参与科学的技能和信心，以及在肯特大学开展的广泛的STFC相关研究;并了解它与他们的生活有何关系。讲习班将建立在基本的科学原则基础上，探讨望远镜、星星形成、空间撞击、材料特性以及它们与原子尺度结构的关系，以及使我们能够观察这种结构的加速器科学等主题。一群处于职业生涯各个阶段的科学家将发展沟通技巧，使他们能够与我们的目标受众互动，并利用他们的个人经验创造令人兴奋和鼓舞人心的活动。这些研讨会代表了探索星球无障碍交付模式的扩大，该模式涉及将学习体验融入所有年龄段的人的日常生活，和密集的外联活动，使我们能够接触到萨尼特严重贫困的沿海社区中服务最不足的成员。这些精心协调的参与体验使家庭能够以非正式和可访问的方式一起学习，在那些通常无法获得其他更传统体验的家庭中建立科学资本。对与服务不足的受众接触的长期影响进行学术评估是一项创新内容，因为以前没有进行过这种评估，可以广泛分享，以扩大科学传播者的集体知识库。

Through an exciting programme of six hands-on workshops per year over the course of two years, delivered from a pop-up shop located in the heart of the high street, we will create a prolonged relationship between scientists and members of an under-served audience. Participants will develop the skills and confidence to actively engage with science, and a broad range of STFC related research being carried out at the University of Kent; and understand how it relates to their lives. Workshops will build upon basic scientific principles to explore topics such as telescopes, star formation, impacts in space, material properties and how they relate to atomic scale structure and the accelerator science that allows us to observe that structure. A diverse group of scientists at all stages of their career will develop communication skills allowing them to interact with our target audience and use their personal experiences to create exciting and inspiring activities.The workshops represent a scaling-up of Discovery Planet's accessible delivery model which involves weaving learning experiences into the everyday lives of people of all ages, and intensive outreach which enables us to reach the most under-served members of Thanet's significantly deprived coastal community. These carefully coordinated engagement experiences allow families to learn together in an informal and accessible way, building science capital in those that would not normally have access to other more traditional experiences. An academic evaluation of the long-term impact of engagement with an under-served audience is an innovative element since such an evaluation has not previously been undertaken, and can be shared widely to extend the collective pool of knowledge for science communicators.
