Chemistry is an ancient, traditional basic science as well as a central subject. The development of the subject has not only brought us the basic theories on chemical bond and chemical reaction but also led to tens of thousands of new substances, making a great contribution to the scientific advancement and social life of human beings.
Purposes
- Stimulate students’ interest in Chemical research among high school students
- Encourage innovation in Chemical thinking among high school students
- Cultivate young Chemistry talents
- Encourage articulation between high school teachers and university professors
