Science stems from humanity's curiosity about and exploration of the unknown. From Zu Chongzhi, the mathematician renowned for his precise calculations, and Li Shizhen, who compiled and organised invaluable medical knowledge, to Qian Xuesen, a pioneer of China's space programme, and Charles Kao Kuen, the "Father of Fibre Optics", who transformed global communications, these scientists shone brightly across diverse scientific fields. With their curiosity, perseverance and innovative spirit, they made important contributions to the advancement of science and technology.

A slideshow display has been set up in the 3/F Children's Gallery of the Hong Kong Science Museum, taking you on a journey through time to discover the achievements of 19 brilliant Chinese scientists, and explore how their work advanced technology to shape our daily lives.
