The guidance and cultivation of scientific interests should start with young people. Recently, the theme of the 2024 Songjiang District Association for Science and Technology series of courses of "Scientist Spirit Enters the Campus" entered the Songjiang Experimental School affiliated to East China University of Political Science and Law, and more than 300 teachers and students listened to scientific stories on the spot.
Wang Dan, the former deputy chief designer and senior engineer of the Beidou navigation satellite, introduced interesting Chinese myths and legends in his lecture and extended them to modern space exploration, leading students to start a wonderful journey of science and technology. During the speech, Wang Dan also prepared a variety of items to show the relevant knowledge of China's aerospace and physics, and Newton's third law in which the balloon flies away, and answered the scientific questions raised by the students about space exploration, inspiring the students' scientific thinking through interaction. "Mr. Wang Dan from the historical legend of Chang'e to the moon, talked about the Shenzhou flight of modern science and technology, every breakthrough makes us excited, let me deeply feel the strength of the motherland's science and technology, but also makes me realize that the success of China's aerospace is not accidental, it embodies the hard work and wisdom of countless astronauts behind it." Zou Mengying, a student in Class 5 (8), said.
"The scientist campus activity is not only a visual feast for every student, but also a collision of thinking and science. I hope that students will follow the example of scientists, have scientific dreams in their hearts, and go further on the road of science. Zhang Yuanqin, the principal of the school, said.
