Features: The 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. The realization of this grand goal requires the role of science and technology as productive forces, with people being the most active factor in productive forces and human resources being resources. Enhancing the innovative capacity of the entire nation not only requires cultivating professional scientific and technological personnel but also relies on improving the scientific literacy of all citizens. Youth are the citizens of the future society, and cultivating their scientific literacy is particularly important. Science popularization activities for youth are a vital pathway for fostering their scientific literacy. The forms of science popularization activities for youth are diverse and require support from conceptual resources, teaching resources, human resources, and venue resources. This book introduces the background of implementing the "Science Popularization Activities for Youth" project, the basic process and methods, content and results, basic effects, and policy recommendations, among others.
