Abstract ACS Kids Zone is a specialized science practice area designed by the American Chemical Society specifically for children, aimed at laying the foundation for scientific enlightenment through fun and interactive activities and educational resources. Through interactive experiments such as “Make your own paper battery” “Explore electrolytes” “Pencil electrolysis” and “Ultraviolet light detection wristbands”, the 2024 ACS Kids Zone activities will enable children to learn about electrochemistry, materials science and other chemical knowledge through practice and enhance their interest in science through interactions with chemists. The program fully demonstrates the innovative path of science practice in chemistry education and emphasizes the key role of early scientific enlightenment, with a view to bringing inspiration to the chemistry education system and the mode of science practice in China.
