Opening ceremony of 2014 National Week of Science and Technology in Songjiang District and launch of low-carbon life experience gym
Scientific living, fulfilling dreams through innovation
On the morning of May 15, the opening ceremony of National Scientific Week Songjiang District Activity was formally held in Science Gym of Songjiang District. As an important component of the opening ceremony and one of the features of scientific festivals in Songjiang District, popular science display of SUES scientific shop was formally launched and well received by participating leaders, distinguished guests and residents present. SUES deputy party secretary Tian Xincan, Lu Lin, vice chairman of Shanghai Scientific Association, Chen Yujian, vice chief of Songjiang District, Shen Quanyun, chief of Songjiang Scientific Committee and chairman of Songjiang Scientific Association participated in and launched the opening ceremony. Distinguished guests attended the scientific display with the accompaniment of Ma Jianli, SUES deputy party secretary of school of automobile engineering, Li Yunxian, chief of office of SUES school of art design, Zheng Lingying, chief of SUES department of research and development, and staff members from SUES youth league and youth leagues of various schools.
This SUES scientific show received active response and support from leaders from schools of mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, automobile engineering, art design, aviation, fashion design, light rail transportaion, and Sino-S.Korean multi-media and the youth leagues from various schools, with all the above schools showcasing science treasures and latest scientific fruits, which emerged as the dazzling highlight at the opening ceremony. This science show is divided into “section of popular science innovations” and “section of popular science interactive experience”, with the former displaying popular science achievements made by all schools based on the scientific shop and scientific innovations made by virtue of specialized advantages of all schools.
When visitors entered the display area, the dazzling and muscular Fsae racecar from school of automobile engineering came into view. Next, the mobile platform control performance of robotic racecar from school of electronic and electrical engineering caught attention from the viewers. In the section of artistic photography, the popular science experience of photography department based on wet photography and the evolution of history of photography from school of art design showcased the shock and integration of traditional photography and modern art. A complete set of astronomical equipment and a virtual observatory brought by SUES astronomical society was highly welcomed by children. In the display section of modern transportation, students from school of urban rail transportation demonstrated the air quality monitoring system and automatic fire extinguishing device on the platform of rail transport. Students from school of automobile engineering systematically explained the principle of speed transmission by displaying transmission anatomical parts. Students from school of mechanical engineering introduced to viewers intelligent patrol robots, three-rotor aircraft, and non-carbon cars manufactured by themselves. Nearby, a 3D printer elaborately produced by students from school of automobile engineering was printing out a lovely 3D rabbit, whose lively display of the new high-tech of 3D printing amazed and wowed the visitors. In the last booth of “section of popular science innovations”, the Cartesian robot, a heavyweight treasure from school of mechanical engineering precisely staged its virgin show of the grabbing and milling. Macroporous membrane purification recycling device for biological pond fish culture wastewater from school of chemical engineering captivated the visitors with an amazingly new environmental protection technology featuring recycling and purification of water supply for aquatic plants and fish.
When visitors completed their tour of the “section of popular science innovations”, two treasured steeds displayed by Sino-S.Korean school of multi-media using holographic imaging technology welcomed the guests into “section of popular science interactive experience”. In the first booth, the popular science software integrating learning and entertainment developed by the multi-media school represented a close correlation between popular science and life. The automatic classification trashcan developed by school of mechanical engineering received immediate welcome upon introduction, and was spoken highly of by visitors for its effort to solve the difficulty of classifying garbage. 3D try-on model software and the display of new fashion fabric and material by school of fashion design exhibited, in large screen, the new technology in marketing fashion. Honda energy-saving car, a classic display product by school of automobile engineering, was also well-received due to its streamlined appearance and energy-conserving features, which embodies the eco-friendliness, fashion, and simplicity in the new age of technology. For the public, technology no longer appears to be an unknown ,inaccessible and upscale field. The scientific shop has satisfied the public with new scientific knowledge and impressively accessible popular science converted from research and development fruits.
Since its establishment in 2009, SUES scientific shop, under the care and support from SUES presidents and party secretaries and with the assistance from Shanghai Scientific Committee, Shanghai Scientific Association, and Songjiang Scientific Committee and Songjiang Scientific Association, and with the support from chiefs and party secretaries from relevant SUES schools and SUES department of research and development, has set up 10 popular science stations, 11 popular science shops in 9 street divisions and townships in the districts of Songjiang, Qingpu, and Huangpu, involving ten SUES schools including schools of mechanical engineering, of electronic and electrical engineering, of chemical engineering, of automobile engineering, of art design, of aviation, of fashion design, of urban rail transportation, and of multi-media.
After 5 years of operation, SUES scientific shop has formed seven brand projects of “Large-scale popular science community circuit service in outlying areas of Shanghai”, “ Popular science station of termination of rumors”, “Popular science innovation community service center” , “Modern transport popular science joint display center”, “Chengpu Cup popular science design competition”, “Science subject two-way feeding program”, “The science linkage program”. SUES schools, by virtue of their respective advantages, have periodically conducted popular science consulting, inspection, speeches, and interactive popular science activities based on hot topics in life in the designated areas, serving a total of 30,000 person times, and thus developing a new craze for promoting the comprehensive growth of students with popular science and the community popular science creations with research and development
A weekend popular science interactive section will be set up in Shanghai Science and Technology Museum during this popular science joint show, with a display of popular astronomical knowledge and home-living energy saving knowledge on this weekend to cater to the interests of popular science enthusiasts.
