Summer Electricity Study Tour for “Little Migratory Birds” Held in Ningbo

On August 5, an immersive science education activity themed "Exploring the Mysteries of Electricity" was held at the Ningbo City Exhibition Hall. Jointly organized by State Grid Ningbo Power Supply Company, Ningbo City Exhibition Hall, and in collaboration with the Menglu Youth Volunteer Service Center, the summer study tour focused on electrical safety and science education for children participating in the "Little Migratory Birds" summer program.

The event featured Hua Xingchen, a primary school science teacher in Ningbo and daughter of a “China Good Person” award recipient, Zhou Miaoya, as a special guest demonstrator. Through the “hair-standing-on-end” experiment, she introduced the principles of static electricity, bringing the mysteries of electricity to life with engaging explanations and hands-on experiments.

“Touching plugs with wet hands, flying kites close to power lines, or walking under high-voltage lines with an umbrella during a thunderstorm—these seemingly ordinary actions can all lead to electrical accidents,” said Lin Maohua, a volunteer with the Menglu Youth Volunteer Service Center at State Grid Ningbo Power Supply Company. Using hands-on activities and visual aids, he explained common electrical safety risks in daily life and provided demonstrations on how to respond to incidents such as electric shock first aid and dealing with electrical fires. The children participated actively, creating a lively and interactive atmosphere.

At the end of the event, the children toured the Ningbo City Exhibition Hall, learning more about the development journey of Ningbo under the guidance of the exhibition hall guides. “This event not only taught the children valuable knowledge about electricity, but also deepened their understanding of Ningbo and their affection for the city,” said Chen Fen, the accompanying teacher.

State Grid Ningbo Power Supply Company will continue to leverage its strengths in "Electricity + Science Education" and "Electricity + Public Welfare", building diverse public welfare and social practice platforms to safeguard the colorful childhoods of the "Little Migratory Birds."
