Recently, the primary school of China (Hong Kong) English School (CHES) successfully held the First Science and Technology Festival with the theme of "Building Dreams with Science and Technology, Inspiring Intelligence and Visioning the Future". Students created what they imagined, such as future schools, mecha dinosaurs, Mars space stations, rockets, artificial satellites, etc. They also demonstrated the scientific principles in their textbooks in the form of games. The cool and interesting projects made the students and parents who came to experience them shout with excitement.

On the afternoon of October 10, at the playground of the CHES primary school department, a unique science and technology carnival officially began. The students lined up and experienced the science and technology projects one by one, including air cannons, magical structures, lighting up light bulbs, wind power generation, the world under a microscope, remote-controlled cars, and intelligent online games.

Several small games designed by students in the computer interest class of grades five and six were very popular among students and attracted waves of trial plays, keeping the students who were in charge of the stalls very busy.

After the event, six students had a lively discussion: "Everyone in our computer interest class made small games, and the teacher carefully selected several to be on this science and technology carnival." "I designed 3D Balance Ball and Little Fire Dragon Battle." "I designed Gem Battle, a game of collecting gems!" Amidst arguments and jokes, everyone came to the large poster, handicraft exhibition area, and large banner of the science and technology festival and took group photos, leaving one beautiful childhood memory after another.

Unlike the elder brothers and sisters in higher grades, Chen Renchuan, a second-grader, is a well-behaved little boy. Standing in front of the Mars base model he made, he introduced: "This is the operation room that controls the entire base. This is the personnel rest room. This is the giant observation room. This is the solar power generation warehouse..." Ms Cheng, his mother, said proudly: "It can really generate electricity using solar energy."

Ms Xie Hui, the Headmistress of the primary school, said that cultivating children's scientific literacy from an early age is the proper meaning of modern education. "In this science and technology festival, the children participated very actively, and the works produced can be seen, heard, and operated by themselves."

CHES has always attached great importance to cultivating students' scientific literacy. The Jiangmen campus and the high school department of the Zhongshan campus have both held the campus science and technology festival for many consecutive years.
