The lecture used both multimedia presentations and stage performances and the subject matters included popcorn, hot dog and ice cream that most students love.

　　Expo Lecture Hall gave most kids a preliminary understanding of World Expos. They liked this form of class, saying that they could learn a lot of knowledge in this way, in addition to textbooks.

　　According to Zhang Xiaochen, the school's student development director, the content of Expo Lecture Hall fits very well with the cognitive level of kids and is highly appreciated by both kids and teachers. Recently, the school has focused on the development of an education program that will expose the kids to the outside world by integrating external resources. WEM has brought the right lectures to the school. It will become a critical part of the school curriculum development and a new direction of research for the teachers.

There, Lecturer Yu Zhou told "Small Stories of Great Figures" to the school's 500 Grade-3 students. The kids immersed themselves in the stories of great inventors and came to understand that persistence is a key ingredient of dreams. Pan Cui, deputy director of the School Student Development Center, praised the lecture for its fun and its potential to provide children with knowledge of life and success, which can improve the awareness of kids and open up their horizons. She hopes that more such lectures will come to the school.　　

　　Nanjing Business School

　　On the afternoon of September 27, Expo Lecture Hall came to Nanjing Business School where 100 freshmen were waiting. Many of these aspiring college students knew about World Expos, but their memory of Expo 2010 was blur because they were too young back in 2010. After the lecture, a girl took part in the performances and was very much amused and enlightened. She said that she wanted to visit WEM in Shanghai in person. Qin Yingchun, the class teacher, appreciated the event very much. She said that students should attend such activities more often, which cannot only help them understand the past and history, but also stimulate their passion for innovation.

　　As the bell rang, the Expo Lecture Hall entering the campus in Nanjing ended successfully.

　　Within 4 days, the Expo Lecture Hall lecturers brought fun and information to 1,500 students from 4 schools in Nanjing, sharing the culture of World Expos with them.This trip to Nanjing has impressed the teachers and students from the schools in Nanjing, as well as the WEM staff. The students' attentive eyes, their enthusiasm in interaction and their bright smiles are a big reward for the lecturers.

　　The Expo Lecture Hall entering the campus campaign is a major brand event of the "WE Kids" education program of WEM. Based on the Yangtze River Delta Museum Education Alliance, this campaign is designed to fulfill the educational mission of museums and promote school-museum partnership. It is an attempt to integrate museum and school resources.

　　Since the initiation of Expo Lecture Hall in May this year, WEM's lecturers have delivered 58 sessions to nearly 10,000 audience. After the National Day, Expo Lecture Hall will visit the remote village schools in Gansu Province to share the World Expo culture with the kids there and stimulate their curiosity and desire for exploration. Hopefully, it wil open the door of wisdom for them.
