On the morning of March 10th, the third "Member Channel" of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) was held at the Great Hall of the People. Ni Minjing, a member of the CPPCC National Committee and the director of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, gave an interview to reporters.
Ni Minjing introduced that outstanding innovative talents share three common traits: first, they are highly autonomous and proactive; second, they have a strong interest in a particular field and are highly focused; third, they possess resilience and can persevere. Regardless of their academic performance, these three qualities can be cultivated, which embodies the true value and power of education. Scientific education worldwide is shifting towards learning for innovation. Innovation stems from diverse minds and actions. Playing basketball, participating in choir practice, doing household chores, or engaging in science and technology competitions all contribute to shaping children's diverse minds, enhancing mental strength, and reducing the occurrence of psychological issues, thereby increasing the possibility of cultivating innovative talents.
Ni Minjing emphasized that scientific education is not limited to high technology; everything can be studied. Even rural areas are full of resources for popular science. Every piece of soil, every flower, and every clear night sky present excellent opportunities for scientific exploration.
