Science and technology achieve dreams, and dreams help growth. On the morning of July 13, the practice team members of the Red Dream Building Tour ET Science Popularization Team of China West Normal University arrived at Huaxing Primary School in Huaxing Town, Jialing District, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, and organized left-behind children to carry out a series of science and technology popularization activities mainly based on the display of educational science and technology animation.

Educational resources are scarce and development is in a bottleneck
After the members of the summer social practice team arrived at Huaxing Primary School in Huaxing Town, they visited the school under the leadership of Luo Chengdong, head of the Jialing District Youth Volunteer Association, and had a general understanding of the layout of the school and the basic situation of teachers and students. Luo Chengdong introduced that Huaxing Town is a relatively backward town, the economic development is lagging behind, and most of the people in the town are going out to work, which also directly leads to the increase in left-behind children in the area. Moreover, Huaxing Primary School lacks educational resources and teacher resources, and there is often a situation where a teacher wears several positions. It can be seen that local education is facing severe challenges.
The practice team also observed that Huaxing Primary School still follows the traditional teaching mode, and students have never used multimedia for teaching. In addition, school textbooks and extracurricular reading books are also very scarce, and the plastic playground is also full of old-fashioned black. After the visit, Wang Yunyi, a member of the practice team, said: "Looking at the simple equipment here and the longing that cannot be hidden in the eyes of these children, I feel that the significance of this trip is more important than we expected." ”
Self-made animation to show the charm of technology
Subsequently, the ET science popularization team members carried out a series of scientific and technological science popularization activities. They used electronic tablets to show the children of the school the animation they made, and based on the vivid and interesting, clear theme and detailed scientific and technological achievements, they told the children how to make a simple compass to distinguish the direction at sea, and gave the children of Huaxing Primary School a science and technology lesson of extraordinary significance.
The children, who were exposed to such a novel teaching method for the first time, were very excited and said that they wanted to try it themselves. One of the little girls said after watching the animation, "Sister, this cartoon is really interesting, and I have learned to be a compass." Grandma doesn't have to worry about me anymore, I won't get lost. "Easy-to-understand animations easily impart complex scientific knowledge to children, inspiring them to discover innovations from life, broaden their horizons, and light up their infinite future."

The operation was an advance visit by the team to the practice site to get a glimpse of the school. Since then, the team will continue to carry out more activities on popular science and technology for the school, bring advanced science and technology to the left-behind children in the region, and help the growth of dreams.
