Today, BASF and Zhangjiang Science Hall jointly launched BASF ® The Little Chemist Shanghai railway station event brought an interdisciplinary science popularization trip to more than 240 children in Shanghai. Here, they can not only personally experience interesting chemical experiments, but also explore the mysteries of architectural science, cultivate scientific interest and innovative spirit.
BASF has long been committed to promoting popular science education for young people in China. At the activity of Little Chemist Shanghai railway station, BASF brought an upgraded version of "ink and wash printing experiment". The production and printing of ink itself is a complex process, but through the innovation of BASF R&D and technical personnel, this process is designed to simulate a simple and safe interactive experiment, and guide children to pay attention to important issues such as sustainable development and environmental protection.
Dr. Han Wei, vice president of BASF and director of Shanghai Innovation Park, said, "New experiments, new venues and new experiences - this summer, the popular little chemist activity will add new elements by taking advantage of the advantages of Zhangjiang Science Hall. We hope that through BASF ® The fun experiments of small chemists allow children to explore the mysteries of chemistry in practice, and cultivate scientific youth for a sustainable future

In 2002, BASF introduced the Little Chemist Activity into China to help China's science popularization for children. As of the end of 2022, over 200000 children have participated. During this period, BASF also recruited and trained thousands of volunteer teachers, many of whom participated in BASF as children ® Little Chemist Activity. This year, more than 50 college students from Peking University, Zhejiang University, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Ningbo University, Southwest University and other well-known universities will become on-site volunteer teachers to guide children to complete the experiment.
