The AI Age is Calling for
a New Education

We are now in an era where artificial intelligence is reshaping the world. From Silicon Valley to Beijing, from the classroom to the workplace, AI literacy has become a core focus in global education. In the next decade, mastering the ability to collaborate with intelligent machines will no longer be an optional skill, but a necessity — what our children need to acquire is not merely knowledge, but also the thinking patterns and creative capabilities to align with the demands of the intelligent age.

Composition of the Expert Team

YBC's "Think Tank" comprises computer scientists, experts in brain science and AI research, and top-tier internet technology professionals, providing scientific and precise strategic guidance for curriculum development.

Innovative Curriculum Research

Combining the learning motivation and programming proficiency needs of children aged 4-16, we have developed a series of youth AI education courses, including "Artificial Intelligence and Computational Thinking" and "Advanced Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence" and othes.

Computational Thinking Research

We have innovatively developed and launched the Computational Thinking course. Through the dual-course model of "programming + thinking", it systematically cultivates and enhances children's computational thinking and application capabilities.

AI Ethics Research

We have independently developed China's first full-stack children's programming creation platform, which is suitable for children to write code and covers multiple fields, with 39 independent intellectual property rights.
