道康宁青少年科技日活动希望孩子们通过亲身体验一系列有机硅应用实验，了解硅这个地表含量第二丰富的化学元素的无穷魅力。这些实验的核心是有机硅创新如何改善人们生活，促进环保并推动技术进步。五年来，该活动受欢迎程度与日俱增，今年三站总共预计接待近1,200名学生。
道康宁大中华区总裁张康明(Jeremy Burks)表示：“自2008年道康宁青少年科技日活动首次举办以来，我们通过精心设计的实验让中国学生发现科学是有趣又富有启发性的。值此活动五周年庆祝之际，我们更加确信中国今后的发展需要依靠接受良好教育的年轻一代，而道康宁将继续不遗余力地投资未来，为中国的发展作出贡献。”
道康宁员工和上海理工大学的大学生担任了此次活动的志愿者，带领学生完成了5个实验项目：“有机硅冰箱贴”、“奇酷保湿凝露”、“太阳能风车”、“硅胶印花手帕”以及“消泡剂”。这些实验让青少年能够亲自体验有机硅和硅基技术与产品的神奇力量。

“Fascinating Silicone in Life” - Dow Corning Science Day Program Marks Fifth Anniversary in China
Dow Corning Continues Commitment to China Youth’s Education and Invests into The Future
Shanghai – Dow Corning, a global leader in silicon-based technology and innovation, celebrated its distinguished “Fascinating Silicone in Life” – Dow Corning Science Day program in Shanghai today, proudly marking its fifth anniversary since it was first inaugurated.
During the two-day event held on December 8 and 9 at Dow Corning’s China Business and Technology Center in Zhangjiang, about 400 primary and middle school students conducted active and unique silicone related experiments that aim to inspire and demonstrate the possibilities of chemistry and technology.
Dow Corning’s Science Day aims to play an edifying role for all students through a series of hands-on silicone-based applications that underscore the marvelous properties of the world’s second most abundant material. Central to these experiments is how silicone innovations protect our environment and improve all our lives. Nearly 1,200 Chinese students took part in this year’s series of Science Days, testament to the ever increasing popularity of this event.
“Since 2008 our Science Day program has been making science fun and inspiring for Chinese students through uniquely designed experiments,” said Jeremy Burks, Dow Corning Greater China President. “At the five year milestone for this program, we more than ever believe China’s development is dependent on a well-educated young generation and we remain committed to supporting the region by continuing to invest in its future.”
Students took part in the event this year conducted five experiments: “Silicone Refrigerator Magnet,” “Chill Cool Lotion”, “Solar Windmill,” “Silicone Printing Handkerchief,” and “Anti-foaming.” Conducted under the guidance of volunteers from Dow Corning and University of Shanghai for Science & Technology, these experiments allowed students to experience first-hand the power of silicones.
“I am proud of Dow Corning’s volunteering culture which is a core part of our company’s values. A combined participation number of 620 employees from Dow Corning have already contributed to this program in the past five years,” said Burks. “With their continued contributions, I am certain that the program will continue to reach local communities and encourage creativity among China’s youth.”
“I also applaud the university students for actively taking part in community activities and contributing to our Science Day program. Meanwhile, I hope their knowledge in science will also be improved by taking advantage of this wonderful learning opportunity,” added Burks.
As an innovative CSR program in China, Dow Corning Science Day has grown to become an annual fixture in the Dow Corning calendar and has expanded to six Chinese locations in the past five years. It has been introduced to Songjiang and Pudong District in Shanghai, Zhangjiagang in Jiangsu Province as well as Beijing and Guangzhou. Over 4,800 young people have been provided with an opportunity to participate to date. For this year, in addition to holding the program at the company’s China Business and Technology Center in Zhangjiang, the program was also held in Zhangjiagang in October and in Songjiang in November this year.
