Science and technology are the foundation of national prosperity, and innovation is the soul of national progress. On August 26, on the eve of the launch of chang'e-5 lunar probe, the opening ceremony of "Yili future park 2019 dream summer camp" sponsored by China Children and Teenagers’ Fund and Inner Mongolia Yili public welfare foundation and co organized by China Academy of Aeronautics and Astronautics Information Research Institute was held in Beijing Aerospace City. Liu Naijin, deputy director of Qian Xuesen Laboratory of China Aerospace Science and technology group, Jiang Lixiang, researcher of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science, Wang Yanqing, deputy director of the Education Department of the Institute of aerospace information of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Liu Lijian, executive director of the Chinese Academy of gifted calligraphy and painting attended the launching ceremony.
“2019 Dream Summer Camp” is part of the “Eli Future Park – Connecting Children in the World with Technology” program. In 2017, the China Children and Teenagers’ Fund and the Yili Group jointly launched this children's science popularization project. Since the end of 2017, “Yili Future Park” has launched a series of activities such as the Science Park and the Dream Summer (winter) Camp. Yili firmly believes that sustainable ability represents the future leadership of the company. It is the social responsibility that the company should fulfill in order to help the young people in the country to enjoy scientific fun in a sustained, scientific and planned way. As the relevant person in charge of Yili Group introduced, "Yili Group always adheres to the two fundamentals of" quality "and" responsibility ", bringing high-quality products to consumers, but also never forgets the social responsibility of the enterprise itself, hoping to drive more partners to join in promoting Youth Science and technology innovation and education industry."
The members of the "2019 Dream Summer Camp" are 20 poor children from the Longquanguan School in Muping County, Hebei Province. In order to meet the needs of urban and rural children, the summer camp also invited seven city student representatives as volunteers.
During the summer camp, children will go to the Institute of aerospace information of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to enjoy the current cutting-edge science and technology; visit the Beijing Aerospace Museum to experience the development achievements of China's aerospace construction; board the Beijing Ancient Observatory to recall the dream of the ancients' journey to the star sea; listen to the lectures on science popularization of astronomy to improve their scientific and technological literacy.
At the opening ceremony, Chen Quan, one of China’s first astronauts, gave a lecture on science for the campers entitled “How the astronauts were made”. Chen Quan talked about how he grew up from the children of an ordinary family to the first astronauts in China. He introduced the selection criteria, training process, daily work and life management of astronauts. The campers were all overwhelmed. They learned that to become an astronaut, they had to go through multiple tests and have a variety of qualities to plant a small seed for their aerospace career.
Wang Luo (a pseudonym), from Longquanguan School in Luanping County, Hebei Province, died in his childhood, and now lives with his aunt and coward. He has an aerospace dream. After listening to Chen Quan’s speech, he said with excitement that we usually don’t see these aerospace-related things, but I believe that as long as I study science knowledge well, I will have the opportunity to join the space industry.
Li Haiju, director of the China Children and Teenagers' Fund, said that science and technology are prosperous and that science and technology are strong. Today, when integrated education and science and technology education are gaining more and more attention, we give children the enthusiasm and courage to explore science, and encourage children to pursue their "science and technology dreams". Through this summer camp, I hope that the campers will learn the "passenger space spirit" that the astronauts have shown to be particularly hard-working, especially capable of fighting, especially capable of tackling and special dedication.
After the opening ceremony, the campers visited Beijing Aerospace City. The visit of several theme exhibition halls, such as spacecraft, space hero and space spirit, made the campers understand the details of astronauts' life in space, and they were deeply attracted by spacesuits and equal proportion space station models. The development of China's manned space engineering, its brilliant achievements and great spirit have deeply influenced the campers.
Wang Bin, deputy director of the Space Star Science Education Base, gave lectures on the earth and the universe to the children. He introduced the knowledge of the earth's atmosphere stratification, the composition of the universe, the design and structure of the rocket, and let the children know more. The relationship between science and science fiction understands the importance of learning scientific knowledge.
Afterwards, everyone, under the guidance of the teacher of the Air Tianyuan, visited the operation command hall of the remote sensing satellite ground receiving station of the Chinese Academy of Aeronautics and Astronautics Air and Space Information Research Institute, and decrypted the construction and operation status of satellite data receiving stations such as cloud, Kashgar, Sanya and Kunming. In the digital earth exhibition hall, I watched the immersive 3D film about the digital science platform. In the movie, I realized the multi-disciplinary comprehensive advantages of the remote sensing big data platform and felt the value of innovation and technology.
Since 2017, “Yili Future Park” has covered 24 provinces, 76 cities and regions, and has nearly 500 primary and middle schools, covering 350,000 primary and middle school students, and donating more than 10,000 books. It is a mountainous and revolutionary old school. Create 35 science maker classrooms. The project plans to enter 1,500 primary and secondary schools in 7 years, and continue to provide science courses and activities for schools in poor mountainous areas, helping students in poverty-stricken areas to narrow the digital divide, broaden their horizons, and stimulate interest and ability in scientific inquiry. The children at the office have a "simple" dream...
