Yesterday, from the Urumqi High-tech Zone (new city) 24 primary and secondary schools "national unity good boy" in the Geopark began a four-day "out of the classroom". During the four days, the children started their study activities in Keketuohai. In the No.3 Mine, they learnt about the Merit Mine for the first time. In the Ayiguozi Mine Pit, the children pushed the wheelbarrow and tried the hammer, experiencing the difficulty of labour and understanding the significance of mineral resources to the national economy.

Later, we will also push this kind of classroom to go out more widely, so that more children benefit from it. The first stop for the children was the Keketuohai UNESCO Global Geopark Museum," said Su Hui, vice principal of Urumqi Primary 79 West Campus, one of the lead teachers for the event and a teacher at Urumqi Primary 79 West Campus. Su Hui said, our classroom should be thoughtful, theoretical and affinity and relevance classroom. This trip, we fully explore social resources, take children to the combination of textbook knowledge venues, stimulate children's interest in learning. This is also a reflection of the organic combination of small classroom and social classroom.
Since this year, Keketuohai has been committed to research and education activities, taking advantage of the location and resources to create a unique research course and research system of its own, so that teachers and students can feel more humanistic history and learn more about geological resources in Keketuohai. In the future, the Geopark will continue to enhance the scientific connotation and deeply excavate the humanistic history, so that teachers and students who come here can learn more about the story of the earth and make continuous inheritance.
