In 2021, the Party Committee of Shanghai Institute of Instrument and Meter took the "I Do Practical Things for the Masses" practical activity as an important part of the Party's history learning and education, according to the demand-oriented, with the innovation of the Party organization's activities as the carrier, with the goal of popularizing scientific common sense and cultivating future scientific research talents, fully relying on the Party building joint construction platform of the Institute of Science and Technology, making the brand of the Institute of Science and Technology, and jointly planning and organizing the "Science Popularization into Schools" activities with the Youth League Committee of the Institute of Science and Technology and the Binjiang United Party Committee of Pingliang Community, to send the application of scientific and technological knowledge into the classrooms of the First Primary School of Huai De Road in Yangpu District, to sow the seeds of science and transmit science popularization knowledge.
This "Science Popularization into Schools" event has a total of 6 courses, including "Field Trip", "Laboratory Animals 1, 2", "Air Purification", "AI Robots", "Nanotechnology", etc. The students had the opportunity to go out of the school and visit the scientific research building of Shanghai Instrument and Meter Research Institute. By understanding the growth and development history of Shanghai Instrument and Meter Research Institute for 63 years, they can understand the miniature of the development of China's science and technology. The students also particularly liked the lively and interesting "Laboratory Animals" class, observing the new model animal zebrafish and the traditional experimental animal mouse, and hands-on operation of zebrafish anesthesia experiments. There are also open thinking and discussion classes on air purification related to students' daily life, AI robot cutting-edge technology sharing classes, nanotechnology application science popularization classes, etc.
Whether this "Science Popularization into Schools" is a success or not, the actual feedback from the students is the most authoritative evaluation. During this event, the students were highly enthusiastic and participated actively. After the event, the students wrote down their thoughts and feelings: "I saw many instruments, such as: jaundice meter, IQ meter, concentration meter... I have a deeper understanding of China's instruments and meters" "Today I am very happy because I visited the Shanghai Instrument and Meter Research Institute, saw the early typewriters and many advanced and exquisite instruments, and I also personally experienced the instruments for testing concentration, which is really novel and interesting." "I didn't know there were so many types of experimental animals. The science popularization class broadened my thinking and knowledge, and it was very interesting!" "Air is actually related to the universe" "AI robots are so powerful, they can dance and jump, just like real people, and they have their own sensing system, just like in the movies."
In the 6-lesson "Science Popularization into Schools" activity, Party members and volunteers used their own specialties to design courses, and through participation, experience, interaction and other ways that students enjoy, children truly felt the mystery of science, fully mobilized the enthusiasm of children to explore science, and was warmly welcomed by children; The school participating in this activity said that the science popularization mobile exhibition hall came into the campus, allowing children to experience the magic of science in the campus, stimulating students' enthusiasm for "learning science, loving science and using science", enlightening students' creative thinking, creating a good atmosphere of science education, and bringing a wonderful science feast to teachers and students.
