The World Conference on Science Literacy opened on Monday at the China National Convention Center in Beijing, highlighting science literacy for a shared and better future. The China Association for Science and Technology has launched a WeChat mini program to popularize science in the form of a Q&A.
Users can advance in the game by answering technology and science-related questions of varying difficulty levels. They can also challenge their friends by sharing the program with them. The CGTN tech team has chosen eight of the questions and you're welcome to have a try at answering them.
