I'm a Scientist: CERN Sixth Form

富集机会分布不均。对一个对粒子物理学感兴趣的学生来说，参观欧洲核子研究中心是充实人生的巅峰。但它就像一个最高点，对大多数人来说是遥不可及的。我们建议使用久经考验的“我是科学家”平台，帮助来自英国各地的12年级学生与使用STFC资助的CERN设施的科学家和工作人员建立联系。该活动将持续两年，从2022年9月到2024年7月。鼓励学生在整个过程中定期独立参与。参与的科学家将从在欧洲核子研究中心的ISOLDE、GBAR和ATRAP等设施进行实验的英国研究小组中招募。他们将被要求为自己和他们的实验制作个人资料，提供实验更新，与学生进行实时聊天，并回答后续问题。学生将能够跟随特定的实验，参加每两周一次的与各种各样的研究人员、技术人员和工作人员的公开聊天，通过测验嵌入他们的学习，并下载证书来展示他们的成就。他们的老师也将能够监督他们的进步。该项目的总体影响将是双重的：通常无法将学生送到欧洲核子研究中心的学校和大学的学生将有机会了解那里正在发生的科学，并与在那里工作的科学家建立联系。在UCAS的个人陈述中，他们将有另一段经历来与来自更有利学校的学生相匹配。科学家将提高他们的沟通和参与技能。他们将获得更多参与的技能、信心和动力。他们会有更多的参与。

Enrichment opportunities are not evenly distributed.Visiting CERN is the apogee of enrichment for a student interested in particle physics. But like an apogee it is out of reach for the majority. We propose using the tried and tested I'm a Scientist platform to help connect Y12 students from across the UK with the scientists and staff who use the CERN facilities funded by STFC.The activity will run for two years from September 2022 to July 2024. Students will be encouraged to participate regularly and independently throughout. The participating scientists will be recruited from UK research groups carrying out experiments at CERN facilities such as ISOLDE, GBAR and ATRAP. They will be asked to produce profiles for themselves and their experiment, provide experiment updates, engage with students in live chats, and answer follow up questions.Students will be able to follow particular experiments, join in fortnightly term time open chats with a diverse range of researchers, technicians, and staff, embed their learning through quizzes and download a certificate to demonstrate their achievements. Their teachers will be able to monitor progress too.The overall impact of the project will be twofold:Students from schools and colleges that are not normally able to send students to CERN will have the opportunity to learn about the science happening there and connect with scientists working there. They will have another piece of experience to include on UCAS personal statements to match students from more advantaged schools.Scientists will improve their communication and engagement skills. They will gain the skills, confidence and motivation to do more engagement. They will do more engagement.
