YBC AI Education System:The 4C System
The core of AI education lies in two key aspects: first, equipping young people with the ability to collaborate with artificial intelligence; second, fostering core competencies essential for the AI era. It is not merely about enabling children to adapt to this era, but more importantly, nurturing future leaders and innovators. For these purposes, we have pioneered the 4C System for enhancing teenagers' core AI competencies:
Cognition
Enhancing Foundational Cognitive Capabilities
During the critical period of cognitive development for children aged 4–16, we systematically train their focus, working memory, and self-regulation abilities through programming practices centered on the “code-run-debug” cycle, laying a solid neurological foundation for their learning and growth.
Complex Thinking
Cultivating Comprehensive Thinking Capabilities
We guide children to develop multi-dimensional thinking abilities through algorithm design, project development, and problem-solving, encompassing computational thinking, creative thinking, and systems thinking, empowering them to effectively address complex challenges of the future.
Confidence & Driver
Boosting Self-Efficacy
"Success experiences + positive attribution" are the keys to enhancing self-efficacy. The most distinctive value of programming learning lies in its provision of immediate feedback and tangible outcomes. Thus, every completed project and every successful debugging session helps build children's self-confidence and intrinsic motivation, nurturing a positive mindset for personal growth.
Cross-discipline
Empowering Interdisciplinary Integration
Great breakthroughs often emerge at the intersection of disciplines, where integration creates charm. We break down disciplinary barriers, enabling children to understand mathematical logic, learn engineering thinking, and validate scientific principles through programming. In the process of solving real-world problems, they integrate multidisciplinary knowledge, fostering comprehensive innovative capabilities for the future.
Authoritative Research & Scientific Evidence
Programming serves as a "gymnasium for the brain". Authoritative studies have confirmed that programming can train brain regions associated with logic and working memory.
University of Oxford
During the debugging process, the prefrontal cortex (PFC) exhibits significant activation, a brain region responsible for advanced cognitive control and other related functions.
University of Michigan
Programming and reading activate distinct brain regions, with programming relying more heavily on areas linked to logical reasoning.
Stanford University
Working memory plays a crucial role in programming, influencing people's ability to track and identify program errors.

We Are Committed to Nurturing the Future Makers
Phase 1：Little Innovator
At this stage, we safeguard children's innate curiosity and transform their imaginative “why” into the first step toward problem-solving through screen-free tangible programming. Children will develop a scientific mindset and think like a young scientist.
Phase 2: Young Creator
We empower children to achieve the critical leap from “playing” to “creating.” No longer content with consuming digital content, they begin to use code, sensors, and AI models to personally develop intelligent works that can interact and solve problems, becoming “architects” of the AI world.
Phase 3: Future Leaders
As AI reshapes the underlying logic of civilization, we are committed to nurturing leaders capable of defining the future. They will not only push the boundaries of existing technologies but also pioneer new frontiers in human cognition, addressing the challenges of the era with a visionary perspective and mindset, and ushering in a new chapter for the next era.
