I believe every student in Zhejiang University is familiar with the two famous inquiries made by the old president of Zhu Kezhen. “You are at school: There are two questions to ask yourself. First, what are you doing in Zhejiang University? Second: What kind of person will you be in the future? ” This morning, more than 200 high school science and technology enthusiasts gathered in Zhejiang University with the same problem, and started the 2018 Youth College Science Camp.
During the 7-day science camp, these scientists and technologists from 19 provinces and cities, such as Liaoning, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui and Fujian, will travel all over Zhejiang University to experience the culture of seeking truth from facts, go into key laboratories to explore the mysteries of science, and listen to famous national teachers and scholars of Zhejiang University tell their persistent pursuit of scientific research.
It is worth mentioning that in order to create a scientific feast for young people, Zhejiang University will open 13 teaching centers or key laboratories, and besides visiting, it will also arrange hands-on experiments and other links.
In Zhejiang University’s national electrical and electronic experimental teaching demonstration base, campers will make LED flowing lights and lucky turntables to feel the fun brought by electronic technology. In the experimental teaching center of animal science of Zhejiang University, campers will observe the development of zebra fish eggs and their embryos under microscope. In Zhejiang University National Biological Experiment Teaching Demonstration Center, campers will begin to make artificial amber specimens …
“In order to let students feel the charm of cutting-edge science and technology at close range, Zhejiang University has opened 13 teaching centers or key laboratories, involving five major disciplines.” Zhang Guangxin, dean of the Undergraduate College of Zhejiang University and vice president of Zhu Kezhen College, told reporters that this year is the seventh consecutive year that Zhejiang University Branch of Youth University Science Camp has been held, hoping to stimulate every teenager’s interest and enthusiasm for scientific research and technological innovation through such activities.
It is understood that the 2018 Youth University Science Camp Zhejiang Branch was organized and initiated by China Association for Science and Technology and the Ministry of Education, hosted by Zhejiang Association for Science and Technology and the Provincial Department of Education, and undertaken by Zhejiang University. In addition to attracting science and technology enthusiasts from all over the country to Zhejiang University, Zhejiang has also selected 150 outstanding senior high school students from all over the province to participate in a week-long science camp in 15 universities/research institutes such as Peking University, Dalian Maritime University and xidian university.
