ECO Science Foundation (ECOSF) in collaboration with the Belt and Road International Science Education Consortium (BRISEC), Children and Youth Science Center (CYSC), and China Association of Children's Science Instructors organized an International Online Seminar focused on Capacity Building for Youth and Science Teachers. This virtual event aimed to enhance scientific understanding and pedagogical skills among educators and young learners across the Belt and Road regions. The webinar featured two experts or speakers: Prof. Pan Chong Dean and Professor, School of Aeronautic Science and Engineering, Beihang University, China and Mr. Khalil Raza Programs Manager - Energy and Climate, ECOSF. Prof. Tayebi, President ECOSF also attended the webinar.
Prof. Pan Chong delivered his talk on "How to Fly Like Birds and How to Fly Beyond a Bird?" Prof. Pan Chong delivered an engaging lecture exploring the mechanics of avian flight and the advancements in aeronautical engineering that enable human-made aircraft to emulate and surpass the capabilities of birds. He discussed the principles of lift, thrust, and wing design, drawing parallels between natural flight and technological innovations in aviation.
Mr. Khalil Raza, delivered his lecture on "Decarbonizing the Road Transport Sector with Electric Vehicles. Mr. Khalil Raza addressed the critical role of electric vehicles (EVs) in mitigating climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector. He highlighted the importance of transitioning to electric mobility, discussing the environmental benefits, technological advancements, and policy frameworks necessary to support the widespread adoption of EVs.
Following the presentations, participants engaged in a Q&A session. Discussions focused on the intricacies of flight mechanics, the challenges and opportunities in the EV market, and strategies for integrating these topics into science education.
