On the first anniversary of the launch of ChatGPT 4.0, the AI video Sora came out of nowhere, causing some more awe and concern about artificial intelligence from all walks of life, and side by side reflecting the realization of a new leap in artificial skills. In order to let students better understand the cutting-edge science and technology, enhance their exploratory thinking, inquiry and innovation ability, and create a technological campus, on March 21, 2024, ASJ held the third Innovative Science and Technology Festival on campus.
With the theme of "AI Era Creating the Future", this year's festival created a strong atmosphere of science and technology innovation through more than 20 kinds of AI experience projects, AI programming competitions, AI creativity challenges and AI robot intelligent driving and other popular science and technology competitions, allowing students to explore cutting-edge science and technology and experience the practical application of AI, and stimulating students' enthusiasm for science and technology innovation. innovation. On the other hand, it allows students to apply what they have learned, show and apply what they have learned, consolidate their knowledge, enhance their innovative thinking in the competition process and experience programs, and light up the future with wisdom and action.
The Innovation and Technology Festival is also an exhibition of the results of the STEAM program that has been established at ASJ since its inception. The school's main focus is to cultivate students' knowledge and skills in innovation and technology. The core and non-core curriculum from elementary school to senior high school has been supplemented with technological elements, including DJI Mech Master, STEM (McGraw-Hill), 3D printers, and programming, to deepen students' understanding of new IT technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and Cloud Computing, etc. The school has also set up a team of professional STEAM teachers, and collaborated with companies such as DJI, McGraw-Hill, Sinovision Software, and Goose Aviation to cultivate technological innovation talents and enrich students' international perspective, We have also set up a team of professional STEAM teachers and cooperated with companies such as DJI, MAGO, SinoVision Software and Giant Goose Aviation to cultivate scientific and technological innovation talents and enrich students' international vision.
This year's Innovation and Technology Festival consisted of three parts: experience program, exhibition and competition program. More than 40 teams participated in the final round, with a total of 600 participants.
In the exhibition projects, students could enjoy the excellent DIY science and technology works and the "100% electrified city model after 100 years", and could experience interesting science experiments, such as "Can you see the sound?", "Flame Palm", "Pharaoh's Snake", "The Flame", "The Flame", "The Flame", "The Flame", "The Flame" and "The Flame". "Flaming Palm" and "Pharaoh's Snake".
In the experiential program, there is not only a rich experience of operating competition robots and robot dogs, but also hands-on experience of teaching practice by teachers of various subjects integrating AI tools: AI&Art, AI&Physical Education, AI&Language, AI&Design, and so on.
"Pictures in Motion" is an experiential activity proposed by visual arts teacher Kiki Luo. Through innovative technological means, we transform children's innocent drawings into lively and interesting animated videos. We breathe life into the static characters so that they can move freely on the canvas, creating an imaginative and creative animation world for the children.
"Music for the Future" is an experiential activity proposed by Performing Arts teacher Cecilia Leung. Students can replace a chord with a button of an electronic product, simplifying the original complex instrument buttons into 4-8 cell phone interface buttons. In addition, they can choose the timbre and sound effects of different instruments, and on the basis of playing, they can easily make an arrangement and feel the infinite possibilities that artificial intelligence brings to artistic creation.
In the competition activities, IT teachers of different grades organize different types of science and technology competitions, such as Robot Great Creation, Programming Robot Contest, AI Programming Match, AI Innovation Challenge, AI Robot Intelligent Driving and Flight Simulation Competition. The students are selected through layers of competitions and finally the final round is held on the day of Science and Technology Festival.ASJ attaches great importance to the cultivation of students' scientific and technological literacy, and promotes students' learning through scientific and technological competitions, and promotes students' practical application through learning through competitions.
Students' real-life experiences are officially the goal of this technology festival. Next, let's listen to the voices of ASJ students and feel their growth and gains. (Video source: Guangzhou TV)
We hope that the Innovation and Technology Festival will provide a stage for the whole school to show students' scientific and technological achievements and deepen their understanding of artificial intelligence, so that students can feel the charm of science and technology in an immersive way, inspire innovation and cultivate the ability of science and innovation in this era of rapid development of science and technology.
Science and technology is an important force for social progress. We will further, encourage students to actively participate in science and technology activities, exercise their innovative and practical abilities, and utilize diversified educational resources to deepen the practice of science education and set up a stage for more innovative talents to show their talents.
