2023年CHAT GPT的应用爆发式发展，改变了很多人的工作模式，我校深知这一革命性变革的重要的重要意义，打造人工智能实验室，接轨世界上最先进的AI功能，让同学们体会到世界正在发生巨大变化，感受前沿科技的效率与魅力。
In 2023, the explosive growth in the application of CHAT GPT changed many people's work patterns. Our school is keenly aware of the significant importance of this revolutionary change. We have created an artificial intelligence laboratory to align with the world's most advanced AI functionalities, allowing our students to experience the enormous changes happening in the world and feel the efficiency and charm of cutting-edge technology.

培养他们对GPT的理解和应用能力，使他们掌握最新的AI交互功能，为未来的研究和工作做好准备。另外还有超导、生物、STEAM实验对外开放，开设“科学探究公益课”，开设多个专场，服务校外632人次，把热爱科学的种子播散开去。
We aim to cultivate their understanding and application skills of GPT, enabling them to grasp the latest AI interactive functionalities, preparing them for future research and work. Additionally, we offer open access to superconductivity, biology, and STEAM experiments, and have established 'Science Inquiry Public Welfare Classes' with several special sessions. These classes have served 632 people outside the school, spreading the seeds of passion for science.

除了让校外学生走进我们的“科学实验室”，我们的活动同样也带着校内学生走了出去，看看他人在科技领域的成就：组织学生去科沃斯研学， 探索元宇宙 ，感受科技的魅力。这些机器人的技术积累和创新能力，让同学们对科技有了更直观的认识。这些日常家居机器人的功能，不仅可以改变我们的生活方式，还能够激发学生的创新能力。
In addition to inviting students from outside our school to visit our 'Science Laboratory', our activities also take our own students out to see others' achievements in the field of technology: we organize students to visit and learn at Ecovacs, explore the metaverse, and experience the charm of technology. The technological accumulation and innovation capabilities of these robots have given students a more intuitive understanding of technology. The functions of these everyday home robots can not only change our way of life but also stimulate students' innovative abilities.
