Using experts to build a successful programme
• Teacher in Residence scheme
• Pilot computer programming masterclass
• Building a pool of experts

Pre-defined aims:1. Learn about a range of STFC research and
facilities2. Use this knowledge to identify curriculum links
to STFC science and technology3. Define, agree and produce a resource which
can be used by schools in the future4. Mobilise and inspire STFC scientists and
engineers to support outreach work 5. Advise the Science in Society team about best
practice for working with schools, teachers and young people

OutputsBy the end of the programme we had
achieved the aims and now have:• A new exhibit for our Visitor Centre• New resources for use in schools and
on site• Teacher packs to accompany
Backstage Science films• A handbook for staff giving tours in 3
of our main departments

Rutherford’s Gold Foil
Experiment

a)The majority of alpha particles were deflected off at an angle
b)The majority of the alpha particles rebounded straight back off the gold
c)The majority of alpha particles became embedded in the gold leaf
d)The majority of the alpha particles travelled in a straight line through the gold foil
Which is true?

Pilot computer programming masterclass
• Idea suggested by supervisors• For students coming on work experience• Staff designing & running; I give support• Pot of money for pilot

The future• We intend to run the Teacher in Residence
scheme again in 2012-13• Using their final reports to ask for feedback
on the process and support• Getting detailed feedback from students
involved in computer programming masterclass – and the staff!
• Piloting our training and progression on next year’s second year graduates
