Wang Jiani, a reporter from Oriental Daily, reported on July 21: "Internet celebrity" robot dog, "Tianjing" offshore suction dredger model, remote control car that "does not consume oil or require charging", MR science games... This afternoon, a science feast that brings together wisdom and fun - "'Science' is Fun - Summer Weekend Camp" opened in the East Library of Shanghai Library. Children felt the infinite fun of science in the curiosity market.


"What is this equipment? What is its function?" "How long will it take to build this big ship?" At the curiosity market, the Department of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering of Shanghai Jiao Tong University brought a model of the large offshore suction dredger "Tianjing". After observing this "island-building artifact" up close, the children kept asking questions. On the side, the solid-state hydrogen fuel cell remote control car brought by the Department of Materials Science of Fudan University revealed how a car that "does not consume oil or charge" actually moves. Many children were attracted by the four-legged robot "dog" of the atmosphere group contestant and danced with it.


At the Reading Theater of the East Library of Shanghai Library next to the Curiosity Market, Tan Jiahua, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, was giving a popular science lecture entitled "Building the Greatest Equipment for a Great Nation and Pursuing the Dream of a Powerful Maritime Nation" to the children. As a leader in the field of ship and marine engineering design, Academician Tan has been deeply engaged in design theory and application research in the field of large engineering ship technology for 40 years. He led the team to overcome the core technology of the overall design of large-scale cutter suction dredgers and key operating equipment, and successfully developed three generations of 59 large-scale offshore cutter suction dredgers, making my country's cutter suction dredger technology reach the international leading level and making an important contribution to my country's dream of a powerful maritime nation. He popularized the working principle of large-scale offshore cutter suction dredgers to nearly 700 spectators on site, recounted the 20-year development process of the Jiaotong University Design Institute team, and shared the achievements of large-scale cutter suction dredgers in the construction of offshore islands and reefs.

"We hope to present the latest scientific and technological achievements to children in the form of real models through the Curiosity Fair, so that they can get closer to the forefront of science and feel the charm of science." Ni Minjing, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, said in an interview with Eastday.com, "We launched this activity for the first time last year, allowing children to have a hands-on exploration process. This year, while retaining this section, we have added a section where children can have close contact with top scientists."

It is also understood that this "'Science' is Fun - Summer Weekend Camp" will launch classic brand projects on weekends in July and August. On July 27, Shanghai Science and Technology Museum will join hands with Fengxian District Museum to launch a "Science and Technology Archaeology" theme lecture, and specially invite Zhou Yang, deputy director of China Silk Museum, and Zheng Jiancheng, professor of Cultural Relics Department of Fudan University, to talk about "science and technology" in cultural relics; in August, academicians and experts will lead the audience to get close to the country's heavy equipment and learn about the major national scientific and technological infrastructure of large extremely weak magnetic fields; "Science LIVE Show" will focus on "magical chemistry", and invite B station chemistry popular science UP host "True Phoenix Dances in the Sky" to lead the audience into the magical daily life of the laboratory and witness the miracle of chemistry; "Meet @ Scientists" will invite "birthday stars" with birthdays on July 28 and August 31 to participate in the exclusive birthday party in memory of two scientists, Xia Peisu and Wu Mengchao, and harvest a birthday with special significance; the popular science game "The Disappearing Doctor of Science" will lead the audience back to the digital twin venues of the four classic exhibition halls of the Science and Technology Museum to explore the mysteries of science.
