Early on the first day of the first lunar month in the Year of the Horse, 8-year-old Tong Yao followed his mother to the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum located in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, becoming one of the earliest audience members after the trial operation of this science popularization venue, "Shining Back". Before the closure and upgrade of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, Tong Yao was a frequent visitor here. At that time, his favorite exhibition was the immersive experience of the human digestive system, "Food Travel". Nowadays, the little guy is most interested in robots. After entering the museum, he went straight to the "Tomorrow's Walker" exhibition area, which focuses on artificial intelligence and robotics technology, to interact with exhibits such as mechanical exoskeletons, pet robots, and swarm intelligence robots. After more than two years of closure and upgrading, the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum began trial operation for the public on February 17th. Except for "Rainforest Exploration", the vast majority of the ten permanent exhibition areas are open to the public. The "Qiji Pentium - Year of the Horse Science and Technology Cultural Special Exhibition" jointly launched by the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum and the Palace Museum has also been officially unveiled to the public. On that day, about 20000 spectators entered the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, and like Tong Yao, they opened the Lunar New Year by experiencing technology. At around 8:30 am on the 17th, many spectators lined up at the entrance of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. As soon as 9 o'clock arrived, the audience orderly swiped their ID cards to enter the museum and went to visit various exhibition areas. At around 10am, the reporter saw on the smart screen in the lobby of the first floor of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum that the "Source Dynamic Future" exhibition area introducing energy knowledge, the "Magical Me" exhibition area introducing human health knowledge, the "Flight Exploration" exhibition area introducing aerospace knowledge, and the "One Meter World" exhibition area designed specifically for children aged 3 to 8 were all in a state of overcrowding. In addition, popular science films such as "Success in a Horse" and "The Sky" sold out early on the same day. Exhibition items such as "Perspective Big Plane" and "Food Travel" that require reservations were opened for experience in different time slots, and nearby audiences formed long queues for exhibition items such as "Four Axis Balance" and "Vascular Roaming" that require on-site queuing. It is reported that the newly upgraded Shanghai Science and Technology Museum has 405 sets of diverse and interesting popular science exhibition items. Even if you only stay in front of each exhibition for one minute, it will take a whole day to complete the tour! Therefore, the audience who came according to the scheduled time slot came in a continuous stream, and the audience inside the venue lingered on and forgot to leave. In order to cope with the large passenger flow, the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum had about 600 staff members, volunteers, property security personnel, and others on site to provide services on that day. All parties have summarized their experience from multiple internal and public tests and prepared various contingency plans. At the main passages, entrances and exits of various exhibition areas, and near popular exhibition items, staff patiently and friendly answer audience questions, help people book exhibition items, and verify QR codes; Volunteers actively guide the audience to queue up in an orderly manner and introduce the exhibition experience methods to the audience; The Shanghai Science and Technology Museum also regularly holds interactive science popularization performances and "knowledge arenas" in relatively open spaces such as a small stage, and conducts "science popularization flash mobs" such as puppet interactive performances in the queuing area, making waiting lively and interesting. There are many people, but overall it is very orderly. The child is particularly interested in interactive projects and has personally experimented, gaining a lot of knowledge. ”Jiangsu tourist Fang Fang came with her daughter, who had prepared a "guide" in advance, studied the itinerary of the visit, arranged for science popularization movies and a special exhibition for the Year of the Horse. After a whole day, they still exclaimed, "I can't go around enough. Ni Minjing, the director of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, said that the "shopping craze" continues to heat up during the Spring Festival holiday, and visitors are no longer satisfied with just "visiting" and "checking in". They need to gain more immersive, diverse experiences and deeper scientific popularization. In the current era where new technologies bring more profound changes to people's lives, science museums themselves are also an important part of the technological innovation system, and can become a hub connecting "scientific research education industry". To further meet the public's visiting needs, during the Spring Festival holiday, the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, as well as its branches in Jing'an District, Shanghai Natural History Museum, and Lingang New Area, Shanghai Planetarium, will also extend their opening time according to their respective situations and launch a variety of popular science activities. Welcome everyone to enter science popularization venues to learn knowledge, appreciate the latest achievements of China's scientific and technological development and innovation, and celebrate a 'year of science and technology'!
