Jiaohuidian News Today, the Nanjing Primary and Secondary School Science and Technology Innovation Center was unveiled at the Nanjing Science and Technology Museum.
It is understood that the Nanjing Primary and Secondary School Science and Technology Innovation Center is jointly built by the Nanjing Education Bureau, Nanjing Science and Technology Association, Nanjing Care for the Next Generation Working Committee, and Nanjing Primary and Secondary School Science and Technology Activities Foundation. It is located on the third floor of the Nanjing Science and Technology Museum. It is an off-campus carrier and science popularization base for primary and secondary school science and technology innovation education, a science and technology innovation activity research and development center and a science reserve talent training base for primary and secondary school science and technology innovation activity.
According to reports, the first phase of the Science and Technology Innovation Center project has a construction area of more than 1,000 square meters and is divided into three functional areas: permanent exhibition hall, starlight show and innovation workshop. The permanent exhibition hall presents the practical experience and educational achievements of primary and secondary schools in the city since the launch of the "Starlight Plan" for scientific and technological innovation in primary and secondary schools in 2009. There are more than 100 exhibits, with diverse exhibition forms and strong interactiveness, fully demonstrating the vigorous vitality of young people's science and technology innovation education in Nanjing. The Starlight Show and Innovation Workshop can not only provide activity venues and display platforms for high-quality youth science and technology innovation events in Nanjing, but also carry out universal science and technology education for primary and secondary school students and primary and secondary school science and technology counselors.
The reporter saw that the exhibition hall was exhibited in the "Domestic Yuan 1" small satellite created by students from Nanjing University of Technology Experimental Primary School. It is the first space environment detection science cube star in China for primary school students to participate in research. It will conduct space environment detection and in-orbit verification of domestic components in space. It is a scientific research project carried out with the support of the Civil Aerospace Project of the National Space Administration. According to students from South China University of Technology, the satellite was successfully launched at 18:51 on October 14, 2021 and entered the predetermined orbit after 15 minutes. During the satellite is in orbit, students use the school’s ground station to receive satellite signals to achieve long-term management and monitoring of "Tianyuan One". The detailed explanation of primary school students made the experts present like it frequently.
"After visiting the Science and Technology Innovation Center, I feel that the children did a great job. Many things are close to modernization, especially artificial satellites. I didn't expect that primary school students can also make artificial satellites and fly into the sky. I am very happy and proud of the children." This year, Zhao Chunsheng, the "most beautiful science and technology worker" in the country, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a professor at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, is also the honorary director of the Nanjing Primary and Secondary School Science and Technology Innovation Center. He said in an interview: "With strong science and technology, the country is strong, and the technology is strong, and young people are strong. Start cultivating scientific ideas from young people and doing some With simple scientific research, you can do some advanced scientific research by slowly reaching high school, university, and graduate school stages. The establishment of a science and technology innovation center is very important for cultivating children's scientific interests and scientific thinking. With the idea of marching towards science, children will know which direction to go when they go to college and graduate school. "
It is reported that the Nanjing Primary and Secondary School Science and Technology Innovation Center is the first science and technology innovation center in the country jointly built by the education department, science and technology department, and the Committee for the Elderly Work. It is the result of multi-departmental cooperation and multi-field collaboration, creating a diverse urban science and technology innovation education ecology. In the later stage, all parties will enrich scientific and educational resources, inherit scientific and technological civilization, smooth the linkage between science, education, museums and schools, and coordinate inside and outside the school to continuously amplify the brand effect of science and technology innovation education, and further improve the scientific and technological innovation literacy of primary and secondary school students in Nanjing.
It is understood that the operation of this project adheres to the principle of government public welfare, is aimed at primary and secondary school students and the vast number of teachers in Nanjing, and is mainly engaged in scientific and technological innovation quality development, and insists on carrying out training for teachers and students in primary and secondary schools, curriculum research and development, project promotion, and science and technology innovation activities. The center is open to the public for free, and recruits teachers, science and technology enthusiasts, science and technology workers, student volunteers and other students who are interested in science and technology innovation education to participate in services, and provides free public lectures and course teaching for primary and secondary school students, jointly cultivate students' interest in science and technology learning and scientific inquiry awareness, and sow the "seeds of science" for the cultivation of reserve talents for scientific and technological innovation in primary and secondary schools.
On the site, the 2021 Science and Technology Innovation Education Carnival of Primary and Secondary Schools was held simultaneously on the first floor of the Nanjing Science and Technology Museum.12 schools from Nanjing Jiangbei New District, Gulou, Xuanwu, Jianye, Qinhuai and other districts exhibit their own high-quality science and technology innovation courses in the form of a market, attracting many visitors to experience and learn. The unique and wonderful scientific and technological innovation project, the various works on the booth made the students cheer and every booth was crowded with people.
"We are very proud to learn that our robot is being exhibited here. In 2019, we won the World Championships championship and let the Chinese flag rise in Houston Square in the United States for the first time." The FRC competition robot built by the Robot Club of Nanjing No. 1 Middle School was also exhibited on the spot. Wu You, Class 2 (2) of Grade 2, told reporters that the function of the robot in front of us is to simulate the Martian environment, load the cargo into the rocket, close the hatch door, and transport the cargo away from the rocket. A robot needs to complete multiple tasks. The more cargo is transported away, the higher the tasks the rocket completes and the higher the score.
According to Ye Yong, director of the Sports, Health and Art Department of Nanjing Education Bureau, "Every week, the Science and Technology Innovation Center's Science and Technology Talent Show Exhibition Area will have a show event for science and technology talents, and teachers will explain and perform for everyone. We hope that through the Science and Technology Innovation Center, a series of activities will allow children who are interested in science and technology and aspiring to receive good science and technology education from an early age. This is also an important measure to implement the "double reduction" policy under the synergy between off-campus education resources and on-campus education resources, and to implement the "double reduction" policy."
