Chovan Century City Experimental School in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, has built a smart education system covering a full range of learning scenarios, transforming technology from a "teaching aid" into a "growth and companionship partner" for students.
At the school, AI not only provides personalized support for critical thinking and language learning, but also helps preserve campus memories through e-albums, enables students to create their first e-books, sparks hands-on innovation through 3D printing, and boosts enthusiasm for sports by recording scores and displaying rankings.
In this way, AI has become a "digital companion" that supports children's all-round development.
