[Reporter Wu Baixuan/Taipei Report] The National Science Council announced today (9th) that it will promote four MRT trains in the north, central and south, including Beijie, Taojie, Zhongjie, Gaojie, etc. Many scholars have invested in 3D train painting to bring science Concepts such as nature, carbon reduction, and the ocean are presented in an easy-to-understand manner, allowing the public to understand the importance of basic scientific research and sustainable development while taking the MRT. Today, the painted carriages officially set off and are expected to be exhibited for 4 months.

Lin Mincong, vice chairman of the National Science Council, said that the painted train is one of Taiwan's series of promotional activities in response to the United Nations International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development (IYBSSD). More emphasis is placed on the connection between sustainability and locality. For example, Taiwan's promotion of carbon reduction is different from other countries.

Planned by the National Science Council, the painted train officially set sail at Taipei MRT Songshan Station today, and with the cooperation of various regions, it will be used in the train carriages of the four north, middle and south routes of Taipei MRT, Taichung MRT, Taoyuan Airport MRT, and Kaohsiung MRT. Or it will be painted on the outside. In the future, it is expected that the Kaohsiung Light Rail Transit will be operated in a relay operation in late January, and Zhongjie and Taojie in mid-February.

Qiu Meihong, a professor at the Institute of Science Education at Taiwan Normal University, took the lead and recruited more than 10 academic professionals to form a consulting team. She said that science seems to be serious and only the elite can learn it, but this time the train painting is divided into 4 major themes, including human and large. Nature, people and society, ocean and forest, carbon footprint, etc., translate science in a people-friendly way. Passengers are not necessarily producers of scientific knowledge, but users and practitioners. Only by changing the attitude of life can we create sustainability.

In addition, the National Science Council also invited the Taipei Civil Rights Junior High School team, the champion of the Junior High School Group in the Environmental Education Practice Competition of the Ministry of Education, to demonstrate that by changing the common fitness equipment in the park, such as waist spinners, walking machines, upper arm training machines, etc., they are transformed into recyclable Kinetic energy is used to generate electricity, allowing people to charge their mobile phones while exercising, echoing the spirit of IYBSSD "rooted in science, sustainable Taiwan".

Lin Mincong (on stage), vice chairman of the National Science Council, announced that the "Science X Sustainability" painted train activity will officially start today. With 3D painted designs, the 4-month train promotion will be launched on the 4 MRT lines in the north, central and south.
