During the lecture, the astronauts had real-time interactive exchanges with teachers and students on the ground through video calls.
The entire space teaching activity was broadcast live. The main ground class was set up in the China Science and Technology Museum, and 4 ground sub-classes were set up in Nanning, Guangxi, Wenchuan, Hong Kong, and Macau.
