Re: Educational Trip to Beijing. Thoughts
The first day of the conference started with an interesting opening ceremony, where the speakers warmly welcomed all participants. There were many people from different countries, which made the atmosphere lively and diverse.
One of the things I enjoyed most was the opportunity to meet professors, doctors of science, and leaders in the fields of education, technology, and artificial intelligence. It was inspiring to talk to such experienced professionals and exchange ideas.
During the day, I visited several exhibitions organized by Chinese companies. One of them showed the future of pottery: a 3D printer that could print vases and other objects from clay. Everything that used to be created only on a ceramic table has now become portable, and I thought it would be wonderful to bring such technology into my school. Another exhibition presented special pens that can scan notes directly from a notebook. The pen connects to the internet, finds the correct information for tests or homework, and then shares the data with the teacher. In this way, teachers can collect information from many students at once and display it on an online board.
I also saw interesting solutions for primary schools. For example, some schools include artificial intelligence lessons for three hours each week. There was also a school that organizes different projects for young students, such as creating a smart aquarium and a smart home.
I do not have the possibility to upload photos from the event yet, because I am writing this from my phone.
The conference sounds very engaging and full of innovative ideas. It must have been inspiring to meet so many professionals from around the world and to learn about the latest technologies in education and AI. The 3D pottery printer and smart pens especially sound fascinating and very useful for schools. I’m also impressed by how some primary schools are already including AI projects at such a young level—it shows how education is evolving with technology. I look forward to seeing the photos whenever you get a chance to upload them!
