This project complies with the objective requirement of Internet-based science popularization in China that has groundbreaking significance. The construction at Stage I includes the construction of Museum A (museum), Museum B (experiencing museum), Museum C (resources museum), and an information service platform. During construction the project has been faced with many problems, such as how to integrate numerous science popularization resources for sharing and how to realize the function of science experiencing of the digital science & technology museum to attract the public. These problems will be explored and resolved in practice. The units participated in this project will, by combining the requirement for science popularization at the grass roots level, aggressively launch the application and extended service of this project.
