Abstract: Luminescent materials play diverse roles in daily life, yet public awareness of their luminescent phenomena and optical properties, especially regarding ACQ and AIE molecules, remains limited. This experiment aims to bridge that gap by designing tailored outreach experiments for audiences of all ages. Moreover, it presents a versatile and accessible science outreach endeavor, showcased across various platforms both online and offline. With straightforward procedures, vibrant colors, and striking luminescent effects, the experiment not only facilitates comprehension of luminescent molecules in everyday life but also encourages teenagers to explore, propose, and address scientific inquiries. This initiative fosters a research-oriented mindset and methodology among teenagers, promoting innovation in scientific exploration.

Key words: Luminescent materials, ACQ effect, AIE effect, Fluorescence, Multilevel science popularization
