Hi all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">some interesting engagement opportunities in the attached email, originally from the Scottish branch of the Institute of Physics. If you think you might be able to contribute but are unsure how then I’m happy to chat. Otherwise, you can go directly
the Mikey Jarrell – <a href="mailto:Michael.Jarrell@iop.org" class="">Michael.Jarrell@iop.org</a>.</div>

<div class="">Best,</div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">Devised by an aerial acrobat, this project will be a fusion between a physics lecture and a trapeze act. It will be created as a short video, with the option to perform as a live act when
Covid restrictions are lifted. The piece will explain theories of movement and gravity as they relate to the movements of a trapeze artist. The theories will be explained orally by the artist, and she will accompany these explanations with a physical demonstration.
This piece appeals to a wide range of audiences, but it would be an especially fun way to learn about physics for secondary school age young people, or for people who have not had much involvement or interest in physics so far. The artist would like to work
together with a physicist to understand what is happening during their motion.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i class="">They have already submitted an application for funding.</i></span><o:p class=""></o:p></div>

and primarily playful approach to the exploration of Creative Processes, Design, Architecture, Engineering and Planning. A series of semi-structured pilot workshops with young people are being developed, and they are keen to collaborate with physicists to
develop more physics-oriented learning, and perhaps extend their pilot programme with a new physics-based workshop.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i class="">They have not yet applied for extra funding from the IOPS grant scheme, and are looking

<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">An idea from an artist and writer working on issues in the Highlands, this project is not yet formed. The artist is looking for a physicist with interest in the impact that the Highlands
has on physics, to help them to shape a piece of work for exhibition in the Highlands – perhaps at the Gairloch Museum. The format of the work, as well as the final themes, would be decided in collaboration, so this is a fantastic opportunity to really shape
a piece of public engagement work. The idea was born when the artist noticed the symbiotic relationship the Highlands has with physics - be it through Fred Hoyle’s passion for bagging Munroes, Charles Wilson's capturing of clouds, or the many and various
in and out of commission military installations.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><o:p class=""></o:p></div>
