Lenovo, in partnership with the Lenovo Foundation Beijing and Guangming Daily, has collaborated on the creation of an AI-enhanced science and technology museum. This initiative is part of the Work For Humankind China program, aimed at fostering literacy and science education interest among primary school children in rural areas of China. The museum, situated in Heshi Town Central Primary School in Xiushui County, is the realization of Shen Kuiyuan's enduring vision. As an educator in Jiangxi Province, Shen has long aspired to integrate technology and learning, providing opportunities for students and bridging the gap between urban and rural communities.
In a forward-thinking art class, aspiring artists are empowered by voice-interactive AI. A futuristic science class introduces students to a world transformed by computational capabilities, spanning areas like weather forecasting, intelligent manufacturing, animation rendering, and space exploration. In a cutting-edge history class, augmented reality (AR) immersion transports students on virtual tours of Beijing's historical landmarks. A progressive physical education class utilizes AI recognition to digitally monitor and improve students' performance based on sports science. The astronomy class of the future offers students a celestial journey through 3D stereoscopic visuals. The modern classroom of tomorrow features a technology-infused learning environment that supports livestreaming, recording, and more.
Mao Shijie, Vice President of Lenovo Group and Dean of Lenovo Research Institute Shanghai Branch expresses the desire for not only the teachers and students of Heshi Town Central Primary School but also children in the broader Xiushui County, Jiujiang City, and beyond to have access to the Lenovo Work For Humankind's Future Science & Technology Museum. The goal is to ignite curiosity in science and technology among children, aiming to inspire a new generation of innovative and technologically adept individuals who will contribute positively to society. The museum, open to the public and free of charge, is expected to directly benefit over 120,000 primary and secondary school students in Xiushui County, emphasizing Lenovo's strong commitment to advancing intelligent technology for the benefit of all.
