| Description | The Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Sussex runs an intense outreach programme, closely link to the research carried out within the Department. Our activities not only involve research talks, but also hands on activities that introduce the basics of our research to the public. During 2013/4, we worked with 16,000 people - 2,000 members of the general public, 5,000 school and college students at our stands at various science fairs across the South-East, and 9,000 school and college students in a classroom-type setting (including our travelling planetarium). Breakdown by number: Public = 1943 KS1 = 395 [key stage 1; 5-7 year olds] KS2 = 2306 [aged 7-11] KS3 = 4256 [11-14's] KS4 = 3932 [14-16, GCSE] KS5 = 3287 [16-18 A-level students] Total = 16,119 Total children = 14,000 During 2015/6, we worked with 10,000 people - 3,000 members of the general public, 2,400 school and college students at our stands at various science fairs across the South-East, and 4,600 school and college students in a classroom-type setting (including our travelling planetarium).

| Results and Impact | Hundreds of people (prospective students and parents) have accessed materials that feature photographs from the supported activity (telescope run in Arizona in 2008). The reason these photographs are used is because I took an undergraduate with me to the telescope. Our UG applications have increased 50% year on year for 2 years. This is NOT only due to the materials mentioned here, but everything plays a part. Please note my answer to 5.9 is not correct, since various method were used, but there is no "other" option. |
