Students match research skills
Students from the United States and China tested their scientific and research skills on environmental and nature issues in the 2014 finals of the Global Natural History Day (GNHD) competition in Southwest China's Chongqing municipality. 136 teams from nine provinces in China and 74 teams (mainly from the US) had participated in the competition, focusing on adaptability, resiliency and sustainability. During the four-day event held at the Chongqing Science and Technology Museum, students from elementary and secondary schools in China and the US presented research projects on display boards and performed on stage.
Outcomes:
Launched in 2012 by the Global Health and Education Foundation, a nonprofit organization located in California, the competition mainly covers China and the US, aiming to teach natural history and science outside the classroom and to connect students with their peers around the world. "The goal of the competition is not only to win, but more importantly to call on students from different countries and cultural backgrounds to participate in and communicate with each other," said Angie Shen, co-founder of GNHD.
