Are wild boars dangerous? What should I do if I walk into a crocodile pool? Is it scary to hike in the jungle late at night? What magical creatures are there on the other side of the earth? What exactly is that insect that looks like a leaf...
These questions were just some of the topics discussed at the ASTSpace Event "Entering into the Fascinating Natural World", held at Haichuang and Tai'an, two residential neighborhoods in Ningbo.
ASTSpace is not only an open laboratory, but also a community for science lovers. The establishment of ASTSpace in Ningbo will bring better learning resources to citizens and foster a stronger understanding of science and the humanities among the general public.
The activities at ASTSpace are fun and interactive, allowing visitors of all ages to explore various topics in science, arts, and mathematics. Visitors do not need to register in advance and can arrive at any time during open hours for ongoing activities. They can try their hands at using lab equipment, watch educational videos, and engage in DIY activities. Themes vary from week to week.
Prominent researchers and university lecturers from across the city have been recruited as volunteers of the Ningbo ASTSpace project to organize science learning activities in communities.
The speaker at the most recent ASTSpace event, Zhu Zhuoqing, is a nature lover who has visited tropical rainforests around the world and taken a large number of photos of insects and animals.
Zhu Zhuoqing talked about his experience breeding insects such as the mantis. His story captivated the audience, who got acquainted with fascinating insects such as the pig-nosed snake, bullet ant, and tarantula through Zhu's recount. The children at the event then jointly assembled a yellow silkworm moth model.
"This kind of event is very interesting. It gave me a glimpse of the incredible natural world and a chance to develop hands-on skills. I hope I can participate again next time," said Wu Yuluo, a fourth-grade student.
