Children are the successors and builders of the future society. Accepting science education at a young age can bring children into contact with scientific concepts, knowledge and technology, stimulate children's interest and curiosity in science, and lay a solid foundation for future science and technology innovation.

I. The concept of children's science education base

Children's science education base is specially designed for children, child-centered, science education as the core content of the science education place.

In terms of objectives, the children's science education base is committed to stimulating children's interest and curiosity in science and improving children's scientific literacy. It adopts vivid and interesting forms to guide children to actively learn and explore scientific knowledge, cultivate children's thinking ability, observation ability, innovation ability, etc., and lay a good foundation for children's all-round development. Functionally, children's science education bases have various functions such as education, experience and entertainment. On the one hand, it adopts a variety of display methods, including objects, models, multimedia, etc., to show children scientific knowledge and scientific and technological achievements, covering the fields of life sciences, natural sciences, and engineering technology, etc. On the other hand, it provides a variety of interactive experience programs. On the other hand, it provides a variety of interactive experience projects, allowing children to participate in scientific and technological production, scientific experiments and other colorful activities, to experience the charm of science in hands-on practice, and to cultivate children's spirit of exploration and hands-on ability. Environmentally, the Children's Science Education Center aims to create a safe, comfortable and creative teaching environment. The scientific layout and colorful environment can attract children's attention and stimulate their desire to explore; moreover, professional science educators are equipped to provide children with professional explanations and guidance to ensure that children can have a good learning experience.

II. The important role of building children's science education base

In the process of building child-friendly cities, creating children's science education bases and carrying out science education for children are aimed at improving children's scientific literacy and innovation ability. Under the background of the new era, education ideas, concepts, modes and contents have undergone great changes, and the combination of education with society, economy, culture, science and technology has become more and more close, and children's science education, which aims at cultivating scientific thinking and innovation ability and takes STEAM education as its main mode, is increasingly flourishing. Therefore, creating a children's science education base is an important contribution to the construction of a child-friendly city.

First, to improve children's scientific literacy. At this stage, scientific literacy has become the cornerstone of the country's sustainable development, providing support for economic development and technological progress. In today's society, science and technology have become an indispensable part of people's lives, and modern science and technology are increasingly becoming a popular culture, a trend that advocates that all modern citizens should have good scientific literacy. Secondly, children are guided to establish a scientific worldview. In children's science education, emphasis is placed on fostering children's awareness of and respect for different cultures, understanding and appreciation of the history and culture of different parts of the globe, and the establishment of a scientific worldview of mutual help and mutual trust. Thirdly, children are trained to think scientifically and improve their intelligence. Modeling, reasoning and argumentation in science education can not only train children's quality of thinking, but also improve their intellectual level.
