Galaxy clusters serve as the most significant laboratory for us to exam our understanding of the observed Universe, from dark matter particles, gas physics, galaxy formation and evolution all the way to cosmology models. The300 project initialized as a large-scale simulation effort aimed at understanding the formation and evolution of these massive systems. It includes 324 galaxy clusters selected from the MultiDark Planck 2 simulation, each re-simulated with different full hydrodynamics simulations with subgrid baryonic model and different semi-analytical models. This project, which gathered efforts from many different experts, has helped us to probe galaxy clusters from different views. In this talk, I will give some examples, but more importantly, it is also upgrading and evolving towards different directions, from including more cluster samples and models, to pushing to high resolutions for a better and finer dataset with tighter connections with observation.
