On October 26th, DKU University-Corporation Innovation Lab (U-Corp) organized a workshop on academic research, bringing together members of the 2024 fall U-Corp cohort to learn how to conduct research in the academic field.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the DKU Innovation Challenge Season 3, where we invite you to bring your creative ideas to life under the theme “Innovation with a Global Perspective”. This season is all about pushing the boundaries of innovation by adopting a global perspective to address real-world challenges and create meaningful change.
This early summer, I joined a field research project in Guanzhuang Town, Yuanling County, in collaboration with the public welfare organization PEER and DKU University-Corporation Innovation Lab (U-Corp lab). The project aims to explore the impact of generative artificial intelligence large language models on students’ creative writing and emotional expression in the county’s educational environment. Driven by an interest in county educational issues, I joined the on-site experimental phase of the project.
In the fall of 2024, U-Corp will open 11 projects encompassing AI coaching, public education, climate action, and sustainable development. If you are interested in the project, please refer to the detailed project intro below and submit your application before Sept 18, 2024.
The SGC course lasts for six weeks, with a separate theme for each week, covering core areas such as entrepreneurial basics, market demand identification, user research, product construction and iteration, business strategy, team management, and finding financing. Participants are familiarized with the entire process of incubating a business concept to building a business model and are encouraged to try creating their own projects in practice.
In this era of rapid change, from the global Maker culture to the diverse innovation and invention competitions at home, students with practical skills and innovative thinking are in high demand. Arduino is undoubtedly the ideal platform to cultivate these abilities.
Future 17 is a new global initiative offered by the University of Exeter and Quacquarelli Symonds Limited (QS) in the UK with participation from leading international universities. It is designed to support students in developing skills needed for tackling 21st-century global challenges through working with industry and academic mentors as well as peers from around the world to create innovative solutions for real-world issues associated with one or more of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Students form international, interdisciplinary, and multicultural teams with their peers from a consortium of universities to work on projects defined by SDGs Challenge Partners (businesses, charities, governments, NGOs, etc.).
In this ESS, we are pleased to have Frank Wu, an experienced EdTech investor from TAL Education Group (NYSE: TAL), to lead us in exploring how artificial intelligence can achieve a win-win situation for quality and equity in education.
