Interactive performances centered on scientific installations and scientific experiments are conducted to reveal, in a fun and engaging manner, the scientific principles behind different phenomena step by step, popularize science and technology knowledge, demonstrate scientific thinking, and stimulate curiosity.

Starting from classic experiments, scientific experiment projects are used to recreate scientists’ thinking processes, explore the essence of science, cultivate young people’s scientific thinking, and convey the spirit of scientists.

Through hands-on creation, participants complete maker projects from the emergence of ideas to the realization of finished works, with the aim of cultivating young people’s innovative and practical abilities.

Leveraging the distinctive exhibition resources of the science center and integrating situational education concepts, this program builds interdisciplinary themed courses that integrate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, aiming to cultivate young people’s ability to solve real-world problems.

How long has it been since you last opened a book? When words intertwine with science, every book can become a key to a wormhole for exploring the unknown. The “Incredible BOOK Reading” program ignites interest in science through “Book Sharing,” spreads scientific knowledge through “Book Crossing,” unravels the mysteries of science through the “Lead Reader Program,” and takes you into historical moments of scientific discovery through the “Incredible BOOK Reading Theater.” There is more than one way to read. We invite you to explore the wonders of science together.

Through weekend camps during winter and summer vacations, a series of featured themed activities such as the “Curiosity Market,” “Science Magic Show,” and “Science Lectures” are carefully planned to guide audiences in unlocking cutting-edge technologies, stimulating interest in science, broadening scientific horizons, and experiencing the spirit of science.

Each month, one outstanding scientist in the history of science who was born in that month is selected to host a “Scientist Theme Month” program. Through scientist birthday events, science performances, science lectures, STEM courses, VR/MR experiences, micro-exhibitions, and online promotion, the program presents scientists’ research achievements in a multi-channel and multidimensional manner, promotes the spirit of scientists, builds scientists as “science stars,” and fosters a new social trend of respecting and valuing science across society.

An integrated science communication program featuring scientific rigor, forward-looking perspectives, openness, and public benefit, guided by the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission and hosted by the SSTM and the Shanghai Science Popularization Education Development Foundation. The Forum partners with scientists from different fields to build a high-quality platform for scientific sharing, disseminate “cutting-edge” science, and create a bridge for the public to engage in face-to-face communication with scientists, effectively promoting the dissemination of scientific culture.
