On June 23rd, the China-US STEM and AI Education Seminar was held in Hangzhou. Representatives from both countries shared experiences and interacted on topics such as the current situation and practical cases in related fields, creating a lively and interactive atmosphere. Subsequently, the delegation visited institutions including Hangzhou Tianchang Guanchao Primary School, Hangzhou Chongwen Future School, and Westlake University, deepening their understanding of STEM education enlightenment at primary schools and STEM talent cultivation in higher education.

Fu Bo, Deputy Secretary-General of CEAIE, expressed the hope that this event would serve as an opportunity to promote more cooperation between China and the U.S. in STEM education through seminars, teacher and student exchanges, and other forms, cultivating a new generation of young talents and helping jointly address global challenges. Under President Xi Jinping’s initiative to invite 50,000 young Americans to China on exchange and study over the next five years, CEAIE will invite more American youth to visit China, facilitating mutual learning and nurturing a new force dedicated to China-US friendship.
