Recently, the Hubei Science and Technology Association announced the second batch of "Provincial Popular Science Education Bases (2022-2026)" list, and School of Life Science and Technology of Huazhong University of Science and Technology was selected.
For a long time, the School of Life Science and Technology of Huazhong University of Science and Technology has attached great importance to science popularization education, and has used the faculty, scientific research platforms and teaching resources advantages of two A-level disciplines, Biomedical Engineering, and Biology, , to closely link with the vast society and basic education systems, to carry out science popularization work widely, and achieved outstanding results.
creates a high-end science popularization platform and creates a good science popularization environment
College Life Science and Technology Experimental Teaching Center is the first national virtual simulation experimental teaching center approved by Huazhong University of Science and Technology . The indoor area of the experimental teaching center is about 1,479 square meters, including 22 laboratories and 3 offices, with 1,825 equipment and fixed assets of about 22.664 million yuan. Since 2020, the college has also started to build a 700 square meters outdoor labor education practice base, and carried out a variety of educational and teaching work such as planting of precious Chinese herbal medicines, horticulture and technology labor, and healthy food production.
focuses on popular science education in the school, cultivates scientific literacy for college students, and actively uses the gap space between the teaching building to build a life science labor education practice base - a small farm in life, and responds to the country's call for the extensive development of labor education , and takes the lead in opening the "Science and Labor Literacy and Practice" college students' labor education course in combination with the characteristics of life disciplines and majors, and carries out labor education for undergraduates. During the course teaching process, the theoretical education of the classroom is combined with the characteristic labor practice of the base, allowing students to deepen their understanding of "labor creates value" and " science and technology are the primary productive forces ".
Do a good job in opening up science popularization bases to the public and serving the popularization of science
htmlFor more than 0 years, the college has insisted on opening up high-quality science popularization platforms to the public, arranged special personnel to be responsible for science popularization public welfare activities, and promoted the transformation of science and education resources into science and popularization teaching resources. The college receives more than 2,000 study and visiting students and parents from key middle schools, primary and secondary schools, and kindergartens every year. Through various methods such as organizing field visits, popular science lectures, and competition training, we carry out popular science work in a diversified manner.Next step, the School of Life Science and Technology of Huazhong University of Science and Technology will carefully compare the relevant requirements of the "Hubei Province Popular Science Education Base Certification and Management Measures", continuously improve the conditions for popular science software and hardware, increase the organization of popular science activities, give full play to the functions and role of popular science infrastructure , comprehensively improve the ability of popular science services, and make positive contributions to improving citizens' scientific literacy.
