On August 26, the primary school of the school no 27 from Kashgar (Xinjiang) held a first back-to-school class like no other. It took place in the Kashgar Technology Museum, built with the support of Shenzhen and inaugurated in September 2023. For several hours, guides took the children through the museum’s various exhibition rooms. Thanks to rich and interactive exhibitions, they were immersed in a world combining sound, light, AI and new materials. The students were not only able to directly touch cutting-edge technological advances, but also interacted with new technologies and equipment. With this fun experience, the children’s scientific interest and curiosity were strongly stimulated, sowing seeds of knowledge and exploration in them.

Immersive experience with “standing waves”. This device consists of a transparent glass tube filled with small polystyrene balls. It serves to vividly illustrate the difference in sound quality between an everyday space and a large theater thanks to the balls dancing to the rhythm of the sound waves emitted by the speaker.
What is direct current? What is alternating current? What is the difference between the two? What is the role of capacitors and resistors? Students find the answers to these questions with this interactive representation of a circuit.
