Congratulations to Min Feng who won the first prize in the 10th National Chemical Experiment Invitational Competition for College Students

On July 6, 2016, the 10th National Invitational Competition of Chemical Experiment for College Students, sponsored by Chemistry Education Research Center of Higher Education and organized by Nanjing University, was held in Xianlin Campus of Nanjing University. 129 students from 43 universities, including Tsinghua University, Peking University and Fudan University, as well as 6 specially invited students from the University of Michigan and the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom, participated in the top-level competition in the field of chemical experiments in China. On behalf of our school, Min Feng and Gen Li, the undergraduates of Chemistry Department of 2013, won the first prize and Meihan Xia won the second prize.

The National Invitational Competition of Chemistry Experiments for College Students is held every two years. The selection principle is to select 30% of the junior students majoring in chemistry from participating schools as candidates, and then select 3 contestants by random selection. The result of the competition can reflect the general situation of chemical experiment teaching in colleges and universities from one side. The competition has played a good role in improving the overall level of undergraduate chemistry experiment teaching and promoting the reform of university chemistry experiment teaching.

During the tournament held the "seminar of chemical experiment teaching" at the same time, 16 professor from Peking University, tsinghua university and other colleges and universities is a basic experiment, comprehensive experiment and research of exploratory experiment of reform and construction, virtual simulation, class, such as micro class construction and practice, and experiment teaching and innovative ability training and so on has made the conference report. It is believed that this seminar will promote the reform and development of the new round of experimental teaching in universities in the future.
