The 7th Taiwan Science Festival | Taichung
Celebration
Science enables us to solve problems, promote social progress, and bring convenience to human life. The pursuit of scientific progress involves not only continuous scientific research but also, crucially, promoting scientific knowledge, providing environments for learning and exploring science, stimulating public curiosity about science, strengthening people's understanding and trust in science, and ultimately enhancing the scientific literacy of the entire population and increasing international competitiveness.
Since 2020, the Taiwan Science Festival has presented over a hundred different science activities and nearly a thousand events annually, becoming a highly anticipated annual event that attracts over 1.8 million participants. All activities are geared towards the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals, demonstrating the importance and contribution of science to achieving sustainable development, and promoting science education through diverse, innovative, and engaging methods to stimulate public interest in scientific inquiry. The 7th Taiwan Science Festival, themed "Science Sharing, Sustainable Development," is hosted by the Ministry of Education and the National Science and Technology Council, and organized by five major science museums. It also collaborates with science popularization bases, local governments, academic institutions, businesses, and research units throughout Taiwan to showcase Taiwan's scientific capabilities. The festival features a rich and diverse program including science experiment shows, science markets, workshops, and science dramas, allowing the public to get closer to science, experience science, and develop a love for science. This aims to improve public scientific literacy and propel Taiwan towards a more innovative and sustainable future.
