In order to stimulate the love of science and technology among children and teenagers, and enhance their understanding and awareness of the subway. On September 7, the Hohhot Science and Technology Association, together with the Hohhot Care for the Next Generation Working Committee, the Hohhot Youth Science Popularization Society, and the Science Education Base of the Urban Transportation Investment and Construction Group, held the "Buckle the First Button in Life" science popularization activity in the three-room depot of the Hohhot Metro - explore the mystery of subway operation and enjoy the simulated driving journey.
The event arranged to visit and experience the OCC dispatching simulation room, electronic sand table room, simulated subway station and platform, simulated driving platform, and training line track. The staff led the children to visit and explain the construction and preparation of the infrastructure required for the normal operation of the subway, such as the knowledge of environmental facilities such as tracks, locomotives, subway stations, maintenance and support facilities, as well as a series of complex and refined work processes, such as departure route planning, locomotive operation scheduling, locomotive driving, locomotive track maintenance and repair, daily management and operation of subway stations.
Through the exploration of subway transportation in Hohhot, this activity made the children deeply realize that there is the use of science and technology everywhere in our lives, and stimulated everyone's interest in science and technology.
