Due to COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s camp will also be held virtually as done last year.
Belt and Road Teenager Maker Camp & Teacher Workshop is an annual event aiming to strengthen cross-cultural exchange, promote international understanding, inspire innovation in young generation and also for all scientists and science teachers to promote mutual learning and fulfil their responsibilities in science education career. The event gives students the opportunity to cooperate with the best of their age at international level, to share ideas and study cutting-edge knowledge in science labs of top schools in China through hands-on experience and teamwork under guidance of experienced teachers.
In addition, Science education forum and teacher workshop would also be held for teachers and scientists to share educational practice of different countries and learn skills of STEM education. Belt and Road Teenager Maker Camp & Teacher Workshop also include diversified cultural and scientific programs including Chinese cultural experience and various visits. Last year, the mega event attracted over 2000 registered participants from more than 30 countries and regions.
