Summer Course Cooperated with the Qing Cheng Academy of Science

July 14 - 21, 2025 — TA transformative 7-day AI and robotics summer course held in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, left a lasting impact on secondary school students from across mainland China. The program was designed for students in grades 9–12 with interests in artificial intelligence, computer programming, electronic engineering, and robotics, which offered an immersive, hands-on learning experience that bridged theory and practice.

Guided by a distinguished teaching team from the University of Hong Kong, participants explored the cutting edge of AI language models and robotic hardware integration. Through project-based learning focused on robotic arms, students tackled real-world challenges such as multimodal interaction design and adaptive control in dynamic environments. The course emphasized breaking traditional “software-hardware separation” models, encouraging students to develop natural and efficient human-machine collaboration systems.

The program featured a full-chain learning experience from foundational theory and Arduino programming, to robotic arm assembly and advanced project development, which ensured students gained a comprehensive understanding of robotics. Each day included hands-on innovation challenges to spark creativity and problem-solving. Students collaborated in teams to complete projects and participated in a final robotics competition that showcased their technical skills and teamwork. The curriculum also integrated cross-disciplinary knowledge, blending programming, electronics, mechanical design, and data visualization to foster interdisciplinary thinking and innovation.

Students walked away with tangible achievements: project certificates, academic essays, and AI learning kits. Many received commendation letters from instructors, with top performers earning team awards and potential recommendation letters from professors. Beyond technical skills, the course fostered critical thinking, leadership, and collaboration. It empowered students to think independently, solve complex problems, and apply interdisciplinary knowledge, which laid a strong foundation for future academic and career pursuits in the global tech landscape.
