万里街道丨萌娃解锁“啡”常体验，沉浸式体验咖啡文化Wanli Street - Cute Children Unlock 'Coffee' Experience, Immersive Experience of Coffee Culture

近日，万里街道颐华党群服务中心联动社区公益合伙人臻心咖啡，将特色咖啡公益活动配送至万里街道小学生爱心暑托班的青年公益课堂中，为晋元高级中学附属学校的小朋友们带来了生动有趣的咖啡公益活动。本次活动以“咖啡小侦探——一颗豆子的奇妙旅行”为主题，通过知识讲解、实物观察、互动问答和趣味实验等形式，让孩子们从一个日常生活中常见的事物出发，去认识咖啡背后的植物知识、制作过程和生活科学。课堂氛围轻松活跃，小朋友们从一开始的好奇和猜测，到主动举手回答问题、分享自己的发现，很快进入了“小小咖啡侦探”的角色。

活动首先从“咖啡到底是什么”这一问题展开。老师通过咖啡果、绿色咖啡豆和烘焙咖啡豆的图片与实物，向孩子们介绍咖啡原来不是直接长成褐色的豆子，而是从树上一颗颗红色的咖啡果开始，果实中的种子经过处理、晾晒和烘焙后，才成为大家熟悉的咖啡豆。随后，老师用“一颗咖啡豆的旅行”串联起咖啡果、晒干处理、烘焙变香和冲煮成饮品等环节，让孩子们直观地了解一杯咖啡从田间走到生活中的基本过程。

在互动环节中，小朋友们最感兴趣的是“香气侦探”活动。大家通过闻咖啡豆以及不同的闻香材料，尝试用坚果、水果、巧克力、花香、焦糖、烘烤等词语描述自己感受到的气味。孩子们一边认真闻香，一边和身边的同学讨论“这个味道像什么”，现场不时出现各种有趣的答案。老师也借此告诉大家，专业咖啡师同样会通过不同的词语描述咖啡香气，而每个人的生活经验不同，对同一种气味也可能产生不一样的联想，让孩子们在游戏中感受到观察和表达的乐趣。

整场活动持续约40分钟，小朋友们始终保持着较高的参与度。除了认识咖啡本身，老师还向大家介绍了一颗咖啡豆背后所连接的种植、处理、烘焙、运输和冲煮等不同环节，让孩子们认识到一杯看似普通的饮品背后也凝聚着许多人的劳动。

此次活动走进万里街道小学生爱心暑托班，是万里街道颐华党群服务中心整合辖区资源、做实青少年暑期关爱服务的一次暖心延续，后续中心还将联合臻心咖啡推出更多接地气的科普活动，把趣味与温暖持续送到孩子们身边。

Recently, the Yihua Party and Mass Service Center in Wanli Street collaborated with community public welfare partner Zhenxin Coffee to deliver specialty coffee public welfare activities to the youth public welfare classroom of the Wanli Street Primary School Love Summer Care Class, bringing lively and interesting coffee public welfare activities to the children of Jinyuan Senior High School Affiliated School. The theme of this activity is "Coffee Detective - A Wonderful Journey of a Bean". Through knowledge explanation, physical observation, interactive Q&A, and fun experiments, children can start from a common thing in daily life to understand the plant knowledge, production process, and life science behind coffee. The classroom atmosphere was relaxed and lively, and the children went from curiosity and speculation at the beginning to actively raising their hands to answer questions and share their discoveries, quickly entering the role of "little coffee detectives".

The activity first starts with the question of 'What exactly is coffee?'. The teacher introduced to the children through pictures and physical objects of coffee fruits, green coffee beans, and roasted coffee beans that coffee does not directly grow into brown beans, but starts from the red coffee fruits on the tree, and the seeds in the fruits are processed, dried, and baked before becoming familiar coffee beans to everyone. Subsequently, the teacher used the phrase "a journey of a coffee bean" to connect the stages of coffee fruit, sun drying, roasting to enhance its aroma, and brewing into a beverage, allowing children to intuitively understand the basic process of a cup of coffee from the fields to daily life.

In the interactive segment, the children are most interested in the "Fragrance Detective" activity. Everyone tries to describe the scent they feel by smelling coffee beans and different aroma materials, using words such as nuts, fruits, chocolate, floral fragrance, caramel, baking, etc. The children were earnestly smelling the fragrance while discussing with their classmates what the smell looked like, and various interesting answers occasionally appeared on the scene. The teacher also used this to tell everyone that professional baristas can describe the aroma of coffee through different words, and everyone's life experience is different, so they may have different associations with the same aroma, allowing children to feel the joy of observation and expression in the game.

The entire event lasted about 40 minutes, and the children maintained a high level of participation throughout. In addition to getting to know coffee itself, the teacher also introduced to everyone the different links connected behind a coffee bean, such as planting, processing, roasting, transportation, and brewing, allowing children to realize that behind a seemingly ordinary drink, there are also many people's labor involved.

This event is a heartwarming continuation of the Wanli Street Yihua Party and Mass Service Center's integration of local resources and implementation of summer care services for young people. The center will also collaborate with Zhenxin Coffee to launch more down-to-earth science popularization activities, continuously bringing fun and warmth to children.
