With the mission of "emphasizing practice and stimulating interest," Xueersi Natural History Department collaborated with Peking University's School of Life Sciences to launch the "Give Children 100 Museums" public welfare project on this year’s International Museum Day. The goal is to further extend the reach of science education and promote high-quality scientific education for young people.
On October 15, the "Miniature Museum" arrived at the easternmost point of China's mainland — Fuyuan.
Fuyuan City, under the jurisdiction of Jiamusi City in Heilongjiang Province, has a rich historical background. Located at the easternmost edge of the mainland, it is the first place in the country to welcome the sunrise, earning it the nickname "Eastern Extreme of China." The Fuyuan Science and Technology Museum, built by the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, is an important popular science venue aimed at spreading scientific knowledge, promoting scientific thinking, advocating a scientific spirit, and enhancing the scientific and cultural literacy of all citizens. It is also a scientific paradise for children.
On October 15, the carefully arranged "Miniature Museum" at the Fuyuan Science and Technology Museum officially opened. Attendees at the opening event included Yang Wenping, Deputy Inspector of the Enforcement Inspection Bureau of the State Administration for Market Regulation; Guo Zhiqiang, Vice Mayor of Fuyuan City; Mu Jingtang, Chairman of the Science Association; Ma Jiyan, Deputy Director of the Education Bureau; and representatives from TAL Education Group.
The Fuyuan Science and Technology Museum expressed that this donation serves as both encouragement and motivation for the future development of the museum. The Fuyuan Science and Technology Museum aims to transform the Miniature Museum into a comprehensive cultural platform integrating education, exhibition, and exchange, providing the public with higher quality and richer cultural services. In future work, the Fuyuan Science and Technology Museum will continue to adhere to the tenet of "inheriting culture and serving society," constantly strengthening the construction and management of the Miniature Museum, enriching its exhibits, improving service quality, and striving to make it a shining cultural calling card.
During the climax of the event, Dr. Meng Hao from Xueersi Bowu delivered a vivid science class using museum teaching aids. The children present learned through play and grew through exploration, their smiling faces brimming with a thirst for knowledge.
The seeds of science sown today are bound to bloom into flowers of wisdom in the future. Xueersi hopes that through the "Give Children 100 Museums" donation initiative, more children can enjoy diverse educational resources. Regardless of whether they live in the south or north, in the mountains or by the sea, they can understand the vastness of the universe, the weight of history, and the wonders of nature.
