Abstract

Can we inspire excellence by rewarding creativity? As part of the MSc Physics and Astrophysics programme in Cardiff University, we ask students to prepare a grant application to finance a Physics outreach activity of their own design. The assessment framework closely mirrors that of a real-world funding application process. Students frequently over deliver, undertaking creative extensions to the core (assessed) task. One such extension was intended as a proof of concept: a series of Astronomy TikTok videos, which have since gone viral – attracting nearly 14 million views, 2.2 million ‘likes’ and nearly 10,000 comments in a matter of weeks.
