黑人学生在物理学方面的代表性不足，在2020/21年度仅占英国高等教育物理课程学生的2%。相比之下，英格兰和威尔士18-34岁的人中约有4%是黑人，这表明这个社区在物理学方面的代表性严重不足。现在是时候采取积极主动的方案，为黑人传统的年轻人创造空间，沿着他们的父母/照顾者和家人，与有影响力的科学和科学家接触。EMPower Oxford是一个与科学提供者和社区组织合作的开创性计划，将做到这一点。EMPower Oxford将利用我们现有的专业知识，吸引服务不足的社区，扩大物理学和相关学科的参与。通过与年轻人及其家庭合作，在他们被赋予决定未来的很大权力的时候，我们将帮助他们做出明智的选择，使他们能够追求科学和技术事业。整个方案展示的研究主题将是“用科学和技术看得更深”。这将使我们能够突出（1）开放式研究之间的联系，如LHC的ATLAS实验和大型综合巡天望远镜，（2）应用集中的技术，如Medipix 4医学成像探测器，源于开放式研究，以及（3）这些大大小小的设施使我们能够更深入地研究构成我们世界的惊人材料。该计划的目标包括科学、技术、职业和创造力。牛津大学将允许来自英国社会经济最贫困地区的黑人青年：1。探索，通过第一手的经验，我们如何可以看到更深的科学和技术使用：a。大望远镜探索宇宙的最大尺度和最远范围B。大型设施，例如卢瑟福阿普尔顿实验室（RAL）的设施，可以在最小规模下了解令人惊叹的新材料c。牛津实验室和研讨会开发的技术，用于研究欧洲核子研究中心的最小粒子。大数据和计算收集、分析和建模尖端物理研究（如CERN）产生的大量数据。2.在真实的实验室的实践研讨会中培养科学技能3.了解开放式研究和行业导向研究给社会带来的好处。考虑通过提供与一系列不同角色的人建立联系的机会来追求STEM职业生涯，这些人已经采取了各种不同的职业道路，在这个令人兴奋的STFC支持的科学中工作。5.开发创意媒体，帮助他们巩固所学知识，并与家人分享他们的理解，并对他们的贡献感到满意。通过实现这些目标，该方案将使年轻的黑人学生能够通过更深入地了解和欣赏STFC支持的科学，科学家和技术来做出决定。因此，赋权牛津大学正在支持一个长期目标，即增加在STEM学习和工作的黑人传统人数。

Black students are under-represented in physics, making up just 2% of students on UK higher education physics courses in 2020/21. For comparison, approximately 4% of people in England and Wales aged 18-34 are Black, demonstrating a severe under-representation of this community in physics. It is high time for proactive programmes that create space for young people of Black heritage, along with their parents/carers and families, to engage with impactful science and scientists. EMPower Oxford, a pioneering programme run in collaboration with science providers and community organisations, will do just that.EMPower Oxford will build upon our existing expertise in engaging under-served communities and widening participation in physics and associated disciplines. By working with young people and their families at a point at which they are given a lot of power to decide their future, we will help them make informed choices that can enable them to pursue careers in science and technology. The theme of the research showcased across the programme will be "seeing deeper with science and technology". This will allow us to highlight connections between (1) open-ended research, such as the LHC's ATLAS experiment and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, (2) application-focussed technologies such as Medipix4 medical imaging detectors, which stem from that open-ended research, and (3) the facilities both large and small that allow us to delve deeper into the amazing materials that make up our world.The programme has aims spanning science, technology, careers and creativity. EMPower Oxford will allow young people of Black heritage from the most socio-economically deprived areas of the UK, to:1. Explore, through first-hand experiences, how we can see deeper with science and technology using: a. Big telescopes to explore the largest scales and far reaches of the universe b. Large facilities, such as those at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), to understand amazing new materials at the smallest scalesc. Technology developed in Oxford labs and workshops to study the smallest particles at CERN d. Big Data and computing to collect, analyse and model the huge amount of data generated in cutting-edge physics research such as that at CERN.2. Develop scientific skills in hands-on workshops in real labs 3. Understand benefits to society brought by both open-ended and industry-directed research.4. Consider pursuing a career in STEM by providing an opportunity to connect with people in a range of different roles, who have taken a variety of different career paths, to work in this exciting STFC-enabled science. 5. Develop creative media to help consolidate what they have learnt and share their understanding with their families, feeling satisfied with their contribution. Through the achievement of these goals, the programme will empower young Black students to make decisions informed by a deeper understanding and appreciation of STFC-enabled science, scientists and technology. Thus EMPower Oxford is supporting a long-term goal of increasing the number of people of Black heritage studying and working in STEM.
