The exhibition, held by 3M, displays the company鈥檚 products such as water purifiers, printable tapes and water-resistant insulation made from recycled plastic bottles as to raise awareness of carbon neutrality, water quality improvement and reduction of plastic use. Explanatory texts and interactive games are in place.

Also, there are science classes for children to learn how to filter liquids and solids, why outdoor clothes can keep warm and repel moisture, and how ultraviolet rays affect people.

Parents can scan a QR code at the site to let their children into the free event, but there is a limit on visitor number.
