The Chemistry Experiment Teaching Center at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), as an Anhui Provincial science education base, has developed extensive experience in science outreach. This article presents the Center’s practices in developing science communication resources, conducting both online and offline outreach activities, and organizing science communication volunteer programs. We propose that universities should fully utilize their academic strengths to create high-quality science communication materials, expand their reach through digital tools, and integrate science popularization with education to better support innovation and new quality productivity development.
- Popularization of chemistry,
- Science and technology week,
- Science communication volunteering,
- Instrument science popularization
