One day, Dr Zhang Yan from Peking University walked into a middle school. This term, she took on a new task — teaching science to the students here.

Dr Zhang wore jeans and a T-shirt, drank milk tea, and spoke in both Chinese and English. She wanted to tell students scientists are not always boring or serious. They have interests and balanced lives. They are smart and have emotional intelligence.

She also explained, “For scientists, success in science does not come just from hard work. They might spend years with few successes, and that is the first challenge scientists should face — learning to face disappointment.”

Dr Zhang gave them lessons and taught them to do simple scientific experiments (科学实验). She encouraged them to develop habits of thinking and questioning. “The earlier they learn, the better. Some of them will go to high school in a couple of years, and they will choose a university in the future. Learning about science jobs early will help them make better choices later,” Dr Zhang mentioned.

The world is changing fast, and science and technology are the key. So our country has a big plan: Thousands of scientists bring science education into the classrooms. Dr Zhang is one of them. They encourage teenagers to learn about science and prepare for the future.
