This past weekend, the [Meet the Light of Life] self-luminous plant special exhibition and parent-child science exploration camp jointly created by Hefei Shenbi Biology and the National Museum of Nature ushered in an unprecedented highlight moment! On July 25th and 26th, two authoritative media platforms, CCTV News Channel and Beijing Satellite TV, invariably focused their cameras on our exhibition hall and exploration camp during prime time and blockbuster columns!
7.25 night CCTV news live report
On the evening of July 25, CCTV News Channel's "Visiting the Wonderful Night: N Ways to Open Summer in Beijing" was broadcast live. The reporter took the camera into the [Meet the Light of Life] parent-child science exploration camp. What audiences across the country saw were children sitting around the experimental table, listening intently to the instructor's explanation of the mysteries of bioluminescence in nature and the theoretical relationship between chromosomes, DNA and genes. The camera captures the children's careful observation, precise weighing, hands-on preparation of deep-sea luminous bacteria culture medium, and the entire exploration process of simulating the creation of luminous plants. The entire laboratory is filled with children's strong interest in the basic principles of life sciences.
On the evening of July 26th, live news coverage in Beijing
Immediately afterwards, on the evening of July 26, Beijing Satellite TV also left the core scenes to the Discovery Camp classroom in the live report of "Beijing Summer Wonderful Night". The report echoes the atmosphere of the National Museum of Natural History’s nightclub, which is like a “magic academy,” and takes the audience into an in-depth understanding of the science behind this “magic.” Footage shows children learning how cutting-edge biosynthetic technology gives plants the ability to glow. In the picture, the instructor used vivid metaphors and interactive models to explain how scientists cleverly designed plants to emit soft light themselves, like some creatures in nature. The way the children actively interacted and thought seriously became the most touching part of the live broadcast.
These two heavyweight media live broadcasts not only illuminated the unique value of our event, but also focused the attention of more Beijing citizens on it. After the report was broadcast, the event continued to gain popularity. Many parents have said that the focused expressions of the children in the picture and the excited smiling faces after the experiment was successful are exactly the experience they are looking for for their children.
Walking into the National Museum of Natural History, you can really feel the heat:
Since the opening of the event on July 16, the popularity of the special exhibition area "Meet the Light of Life" has continued to rise. Every day, many parents come here with their children, gathering around the plants that can glow independently without being plugged in, and marveling at the peaceful halo created by the combination of life and technology.
As the core experience of the activity, the “Parent-Child Science Discovery Camp” is even more popular. Many parents reported that in order to let their children experience the wonderful process of "awakening the deep sea elves" and "simulating the creation of luminous plants" seen on the screen, they paid attention to the reservation channel several days in advance. At the scene, the children transformed into little scientists and operated carefully under the guidance of professional instructors. When the experiment was successful, the sense of accomplishment on their faces was exactly the same as what was captured in the live broadcast room.
Museum staff also felt an obvious upsurge in inquiries, with many calls asking about how to participate in the Discovery Camp and subsequent arrangements. On social platforms, there have been more discussions and sharings about the "Night Tour of the National Museum of Natural History" and "Magic Brush Bioluminescent Plants", and many families who have participated have spontaneously become "recommenders" of the event.
This summer, the nights at the National Museum of Natural History are uniquely charming because of the "light of life". The footage of CCTV News and Beijing Satellite TV recorded the wonderful moments of this unique experience for us, and also let more people know about this popular science feast that combines cutting-edge biotechnology, natural wonders and in-depth hands-on practice.
