ABSTRACT: Against the backdrop of the “Double High Plan” and high-quality vocational education development, practical training resources in colleges have become potential assets for social popular science. However, issues such as low openness and insufficient resource conversion mechanisms persist. Adopting a qualitative single-case study approach, this paper investigates Guangzhou Railway Polytechnic, analyzing its transformation path under the “Integration of Industry and Education”. Data were collected through document analysis, participant observation, and operational metrics. Relying on the “14th Five-Year” Education Power Promotion Engineering Project, the school integrated advanced hardware resources (“1 Line, 4 Trains, 4 Centers”) and established a “Teaching during Regular Times, Popular Science during Idle Times” mechanism. The results indicate that this mode effectively activates idle resources and enhances social service capabilities. In 2024, the base received 4150 visitors, with K-12 students accounting for 48%. Furthermore, the “New Speed” volunteer service system has proven effective in talent cultivation, as evidenced by a 98.5% employment rate for registered volunteers in state-owned enterprises. This study provides a replicable reference paradigm for vocational colleges to break the “walled garden effect,” achieving mutual empowerment between teaching and popular science.
