In recent years, against the backdrop of the "Belt and Road" initiative and "China-ASEAN" cooperation, Guangxi has leveraged its location advantage in ASEAN to establish a platform for the exchange of science and technology education activities with ASEAN countries through international activities such as the Belt and Road Teenager Maker Camp & Teacher Workshop.
In 2022, the Youth STEM Study Contest and the China-ASEAN Online Science Class are incorporated into the 6th Belt and Road Teenager Maker Camp & Teacher Workshop as a session for China-ASEAN cooperation to broaden the exchanges with ASEAN countries. Four projects are selected from the Youth STEM Study Contest as online STEM study challenges, namely the Water rocket, the Wire spinning top, the Stone Thrower Attack, and the Paper Bridge Weight Bearing. Teenagers from countries along “the Belt and Road” are invited to participate in the Online STEM Study Contest and the China-ASEAN Online Science Class.
