Teachers: Sign up and give student data consent

In Science Week Zone your students get to CHAT with people running activities at the Big Bang and other scientists (here’s an example of what a CHAT is like and here is how it works). It’s a free online activity to help beat the virus chaos.

To sign up for Science Week Zone first read the important information below about student data.

Then confirm that you consent on behalf of your students with the form at the bottom of the page.

Once signed up we will email you a login and tell you how to get your students online and chatting with exhibitors.

The text-based live CHAT sessions are 30 minutes long and running this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Students can also use their accounts in the ASK section and send in questions anytime.


 

Student data: What we ask for and why

We want all students to benefit from the I’m a… projects, and to do so in a safe and secure environment. We ask students a few optional questions about themselves to make this possible. As a teacher, you need to give consent for your students to answer these questions.

This is a requirement for taking part.

Basic questions

Here’s what we ask all students and how it’s used if they answer:


Display Name
Visible on the site in Ask, comments and the Live Chat. We suggest students do not use their full name.
Full Name
To identify students in the event of a safeguarding or behaviour concern.
Email address
To tell students when their question has been answered, about activity updates (including evictions/winners), and follow up surveys for students to tell us what they thought of taking part. If students don’t have an email address, they can leave this blank.
How you identify
Used anonymously (i.e. without real names or email addresses) to evaluate how different people view science.
School Year
To identify whether a student is able to consent to share their information (more details below). Also used anonymously for evaluation.
Profile questions
For students to let the scientists and engineers know a little about them to be displayed on their profile, e.g. their favourite things in science and their dream job.

Other uses of the information

Where we would like to use the information for purposes other than stated above, we ask for permission from students to do so. We only ask students in Year 9 or above if they consent to additional uses of their data.

How long we retain this information for

Students’ personal information will be removed after 6 months or at the end of the academic year (whichever is later). We anonymise and keep their questions, comments and survey responses.

You must distribute the login information provided by us to your students. If students log in using a social media account, their accounts will not be anonymised.

Your data

We’ll use your email address to contact you about your application and keep you updated on our other upcoming STEM engagement activities that are relevant to you as a teacher. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of our emails.
