On April 20th, Zigong Global Geopark visited Shengjing Community of Zigong city to conduct the "Youth Power · Earth Hope" public welfare class in celebration of World Earth Day. We organized 40 families to explore the history of life evolution on Earth with our natural science educators. Participants personally experienced the process of converting solar energy into electricity and then into kinetic energy by constructing solar-powered windmills. They also gained an understanding of the application of renewable energy in daily life.
