    Guizhou, located in the southwest of China, belongs to the second tier of China and is a province characterized by valleys and inhabited by numerous ethnic minority groups. The winding mountains not only block the movement of people, but also the development of local education. Our team contacted the corresponding support area of the school in the local area. and traveled to the area at the end of July to open the third point on our mission map - Rongjiang County, Guizhou Province. Our team made contact with the local leaders and held talks around the local educational environment and the current state of science education development. The secretary enthusiastically introduced us to the local ethnic characteristics and the steady improvement in the development of educational practices, but also explained the lack of long-term collaborations in the teaching staff and the infrastructure for scientific practices in the area.

    In view of the characteristics of local education and environmental characteristics, and then combined with the project characteristics of our team, we intended to carry out a series of special educational activities, hoping to start a momentum of science education, so that the local children could get the moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic and labor all-round educational development. So in Guizhou's educational activities, we took the team members of the art group as the leading team members, intended to carry out an aesthetic and artistic educational activities, combined with the local national characteristics of the blue dye cultural industry, in order to cultivate the artistic upbringing of the children, adhering to the green development concept of our team.




Integration of local blue dye art




    Two days before the mission, we visited the local indigo dyeing industry base to observe and learn the national characteristic techniques and cultural and educational value of indigo dyeing. The indigo dyeing craft is common among the ethnic minorities in the Southwest region, and the main indigo dyeing plant, mountain indigo, is both wild growth and cultivated nurturing exist. Currently, the commonly used method for producing indigo dye involves precipitation. The indigo pigment is gradually precipitated and filtered out from the bottom of the vat, which serves as the material for dyeing. This purely natural method of dyeing and printing makes people feel very amazing.

    This green and environmentally friendly technique is highly consistent with the green development concept that our team aims to promote. We exchanged ideas with the staff of Blue Dye, and they also agreed with the idea of promoting the use of green fuels. The terrain of Guizhou Province is mostly characterized by karst landforms, and it is difficult to restore the vegetation if it is destroyed.If the green fuel we are researching is developed, it can not only solve their energy consumption, but also make the mountains and rivers of Guizhou greener.





Bright Wall Painting Landscape



    The team members of the artwork collected information on ethnic culture, investigated rural landscapes, chose the wall surface and size of the painting, and integrated local characteristics from industry, ecology, culture and other aspects of the design of cultural wall content, in an effort to comprehensively show the green landscape of the countryside in Rongjiang County. On the evening of the first day of the mission, we painted latex paint on the wall of the school with a light, and early the next morning painted the green mountains and green water of this land in Guizhou, hoping that the children who come to class can study better in a bright environment.

Artistic Ethnic Cultural Education


    Before formally beginning the class, we also invited local cultural researchers to collaborate with us in developing aesthetic and cultural education with a focus on cultural enrichment. The children were pleasantly surprised to see the painted walls and were very excited and serious during the lessons. When talking about ethnic art and culture, some children couldn't help but raise their hands proudly to introduce their ethnic art characteristics to us, which was very cute. We deeply felt the simplicity and sincerity of the children in the mountains.

    When discussing our research project on green development of isobutanol, they are filled with confusion and curiosity, and when they talked about the value and energy advantages of the project, they looked at us with worshipful eyes, as if they longed for this kind of output with bacteria to be developed quickly and popularized as soon as possible. Their eyes, their enthusiasm, have been giving us motivation and strength during the time of teaching in Guizhou, so many lovely children full of hope, deserve more and better educational resources, they are the hope of the future.
