Baotou space seeds help promote scientific awareness

Children in Baotou are given “space seeds”, a development by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) that sends seeds on recoverable satellites into space for 5-7 days, on March 19. The gifting of these seeds, which will later enter cultivation trials, is an attempt of local authorities to popularize science and technological advances for youngsters. [Photo/Baotou Daily]
