Lenovo built an AI technology museum in a rural primary school

What will the classroom of the future look like? In the golden autumn of September, Lenovo’s “Future Science and Technology Museum” presents a “Future Classroom” full of surprises to children.

Lenovo Rural Primary School AI Technology Museum is located at Heshi Town Central Primary School in Xiushui County, Jiangxi Province. The Science and Technology Museum covers an area of ​​more than 300 square meters and includes six exhibition areas: Future Art Class, Future Science Class, Future History Class, Future Physical Education Class, Future Astronomy Class and Future Classroom. This is a "future science and technology museum" with new IT as the technical base and accelerated by Puhui computing power. It is also the first AI science and technology museum in rural primary schools in the country.

It is understood that the "Future Classroom" consists of six major parts: "Future Art Class", "Future Science Class", "Future History Class", "Future Physical Education Class", "Future Astronomy Class" and "Future Classroom" , respectively correspond to cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements such as AI voice painting, universal computing power application scenarios and principles, AR metaverse, AI sports and smart education. Lenovo hopes that the “Future Science and Technology Museum” can open a door to the forefront of the times for rural children.

In the process of exploring the path of AI empowering education, the emergence of the "AI Science and Technology Museum" has allowed more people to see the possibility of AI improving the imbalance of urban and rural education, and pointed out the direction for AI to be implemented in actual education scenarios.

What will the future classroom look like?

How will the future classroom be held? Teachers and students from the Central Primary School have joined in the experience of the Future Science and Technology Museum.

Among different classroom teachings, the most surprising thing for children is the history class. Breaking out of textbooks and PPT, using virtual technology and wearing AR glasses to travel through the past and present, this was something that children would never dare to imagine in the past.

"Future History Lesson" takes the children in the town to "swim" on the central axis of Beijing. Through a new generation of lightweight split Morningstar AR glasses - New G2 Pro, rural children can create an immersive journey to the central axis of Beijing. Through high-precision AI detection and recognition algorithms, can learn about different Details of various buildings. Let children who don’t have the opportunity to go to Beijing can truly experience the historical heritage of the Central Axis through technological means.

Behind the "Future Art Class" is AI technology supported by computing power, which allows children to create imaginative works by speaking. This is a very typical combination of AI and computing power.

In art class, Al’s voice painting uses voice interaction and neural network algorithms, with the help of the imagination and creativity of “Lenovo Xiaohui”, to turn limited language illusions into infinite artistic imagination, can realize voice painting Interaction - generate offline interactive links for paintings. This is a new form of human-machine collaboration and co-creation.

In the "Future Science Class", the children also experienced the changes brought by the latest artificial intelligence technology to the way of life and production. In the future society, computing power will play a vital role. It can not only accelerate the process of scientific research and technological innovation, but also promote economic development and social progress.

"Future Science Class" showcases industry developments in weather forecasting, intelligent manufacturing, animation rendering, space exploration and other fields supported by computing power. Through the voice interactive light box display, the exhibition shows the practical application scenarios of inclusive computing power from all aspects of life, allowing children to have a broader understanding of technology and know that technology does not only exist on the mobile phone screen

In addition, children can receive professional guidance through the visual interactive physical training system in the "Future Physical Education Class". AI will help students achieve human-computer interaction, digitally record students’ sports performance, such as rope skipping, ball counting, etc., to solve the reality of insufficient teachers in rural schools.

In the "Future Astronomy Class", students visited the "Moon Soil Exhibition". Spacecraft ground experiments were used in the exhibition, and experiments were carried out using replicas of lunar soil. The experimental materials were analyzed based on real lunar rocks and lunar soil, and restored in equal proportions. This provides an important reference for students to understand the geological evolution of the moon

In the "Future Classroom", smart podiums, smart blackboards, smart teaching preparation systems, recording and broadcasting systems and other equipment make cloud teaching possible. In the future, classrooms will be equipped with online open classes, so that more rural children can also Enjoy high-quality educational resources.

Mao Shijie, Vice President of Lenovo Group and Dean of Lenovo Research Institute Shanghai Branch, said: "AI and computing power are the foundation of the entire IT development. This time, we want to bring the latest scientific research results to technology Come to the library, we will gradually add new courses in the future and continue to develop rich content."

As an important model and component of the "Qingmei Project", the "Future Science and Technology Museum" will also continue to demonstrate Lenovo's original intention of bridging the digital divide in education, opening up children's horizons, and embracing a larger world.

What needs to be rewritten is: 02

Use technology to promote the development of comprehensive smart classrooms and stimulate students' imagination and creativity

2 What needs to be rewritten is: In 2022, Lenovo Group and Lenovo Charity Foundation launched the rural education public welfare action "Qingmei Project" and discovered 100 young rural teachers in 30 provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions, and 98 counties and townships across the country. .

Shen Kuiyuan from Heshi Town, Xiushui County won the title of "Qingmei" as a young teacher in the beautiful countryside. During the communication process, Shen Kuiyuan mentioned a wish he has had for many years: hoping to study in his hometown with relatively backward educational resources. The school builds a science and technology museum for children to open up children’s horizons, imagination and creativity. This wish was kept in mind by Lenovo Charity Foundation.

Shen Kuiyuan has witnessed the changes in rural education in Heshi Town. The infrastructure on campus has also experienced a process from scratch, but many technical equipment still cannot keep up. For example, rural schools basically have all-subject (general) classrooms, but there are not enough specialized classrooms that can better improve students' overall quality. Learning music, physical education, and art has become a problem. The technology that children see is still on the screens of televisions and mobile phones.

In his previous teaching experience, Shen Kuiyuan deeply remembered the curiosity of children

"Is there life on other planets?"

Why do my bean sprouts wilt after being exposed to the sun for a while?

Why is the sea polluted?

I want to open an amusement park. Will the ticket income be paid by cats?

The content that needs to be rewritten is:......

Children’s whimsical ideas sometimes confuse Shen Kuiyuan. Due to insufficient educational resources, he cannot give good answers to some questions. Now, in this "Future Science and Technology Museum", almost all curiosities can be answered. Through the combination of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality and inclusive computing power, the answers can be "created"

Shen Kuiyuan said that the Future Science and Technology Museum has three important impacts on students. First, it broadens their horizons because they have never seen a venue like this before. Secondly, coming here stimulates their imagination. Third, artificial intelligence technology allows children to see the lunar soil here, thereby truly understanding these cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements

In the future, rural education and classroom will be integrated into one, which may be the next breakthrough of artificial intelligence in the field of education
