Weifang Community Science Popularization Center is revitalized and starting to create distinctive innovative houses
Using VR devices to observe aircraft structures up close and from multiple angles, learning drone formation programming, and identifying physical specimens of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions... At the Xincun Street Community Science Popularization Center in Weifang, a variety of science popularization projects and courses are widely welcomed by residents. This year, the center has been recognized as the "Pudong New Area Community Innovation House" and has launched brand activities such as "Science Lecture Forum+Science Popularization Classroom" to attract more residents to participate in community science popularization.
The Weifang Community Science Popularization Center has been built for a long time, and in recent years, residents have put forward many new demands for its functions. The original practical equipment in the center was mainly woodworking tools, which were monotonous and had high safety requirements; The content of popular science is mostly about health and hygiene, making it difficult to understand cutting-edge technology. To this end, Weifang focuses on the construction of characteristic innovation houses within the center, exploring and providing more and updated science popularization activities and courses.
Weifang chooses to introduce more resources to the center, establish a "three linkage" mechanism, and achieve linkage between the science popularization center and other departments, schools, and enterprises in the street. The community defense education base, retired soldier service station and other departments have joined in, and in the dynamic tour route jointly created by them, you can see the development history of defense equipment and understand the original aspiration of veterans; The teaching staff of community schools have also come to the center to carry out the "Science Lecture Forum+Science Popularization Classroom" brand activity, enriching the scientific cultivation of residents with more than 30 courses.
This summer, the center also prepared special courses for teenagers. A total of 58 courses were held on robot construction and programming, drone control and flight, drone programming and formation, attracting 855 young people, doubling the number compared to previous years.
The science popularization and publicity platform of the center has also been upgraded this year. Weifang fully utilizes the central space facilities and builds a distinctive science popularization interactive wall in the corridor, with themes including science popularization display, maker intelligence, and traditional Chinese medicine science popularization. Rich and interesting content covers all ages, helping the center build into a science popularization base that integrates science popularization display, practical experience, and communication and interaction.
Next, Weifang will continue to use community innovation houses as an important science popularization platform, and carry out diversified science popularization brand activities around important milestones throughout the year. Weifang will also actively create Shanghai's science popularization demonstration streets and towns, guide high-quality science popularization resources and services to the grassroots level, with the goal of improving the scientific literacy of citizens, and use "small incisions" to meet the "big needs" of citizens in science popularization.
