Learning Unlimited Programs (LU), implemented by university students, is an educational program aiming at secondary school students. Taking the practices of the MIT Educational Studies Program and its different branches as an example, this paper describes the science popularization practice of LU and its influence. The analysis shows the characteristics of LU as sticking to core values and service principles at the macro-level while organizing activities and designing curriculum for secondary school students at the micro-level. Given the actual situation in China, the enlightenment of the science popularization practice of LU in connecting universities and secondary schools should include: encouraging university students to attend science popularization activities, accumulating science popularization resources, strengthening the construction and application of new media, and expanding activity forms. The practice of LU has strong reference significance for the training of science popularization talents, the expanding of science popularization activity connecting universities and secondary schools, and the comprehensive improvement of secondary school students’ scientific literacy.
