He pointed out that the University integrated innovation and entrepreneurship education into the entire “ 3-3 System”, a talent cultivation mechanism, and established an education system that combines five elements together, namely courses, lectures, training, competitions and product incubation. This system effectively inspired and cultivated students’ innovation potential and entrepreneurship capabilities.

This summer camp invited the chinese lecturers from ARDUINO, as well as prominent mindset-designing mentors to attend. It also invited the AI Robot “Jiaojiao” to share the evolvement of AI robots.

Students therefore had a more direct understanding the era of smart city and smart household.
