Under the meticulous guidance of the Shanghai Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, the "Great Power, Small Craftsmen" Public Training Base Youth Experience Program, organized by the Shanghai Employment Promotion Center, provides a valuable platform for career skill awareness, experience, and exchange for local teenagers.
As an integral part of the government's open series of events, this season's activities, themed "Skills · New Forces," feature humanoid intelligent robots from SoftBank Robotics - Pepper & NAO, leading teenagers into the marvelous world of intelligent robots.
On April 27th, the "Great Power, Small Craftsmen" Youth Skill Experience Event visited SoftBank Robotics, where children had an intimate encounter with Pepper and NAO robots and cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology. During this half-day experience, the young participants not only traced the origins of robots but also learned about the evolution of robotics technology. They also had a close-up introduction to the Pepper intelligent humanoid robot. This robot, which combines technology and art, won the children's affection with its friendly design and powerful functions.
Under the guidance of professional engineers, the children learned the Choregraphe programming tool, which, with its simplicity and ease of use, helped students quickly get into programming mode, enabling Pepper robots to perform various tasks. Through hands-on practice, the children gained a deeper understanding of the basic principles and logic of programming, laying a solid foundation for their journey of technological exploration.
The climax of the event was when the students, after a brainstorming session, used a large language model to generate creative content, which they then choreographed and presented. This process not only honed the children's innovative thinking and expressive abilities but also allowed them to experience the allure of intelligent technology. Compared to traditional programming teaching methods, the use of Choregraphe and the large language model made programming more lively and engaging, sparking a lasting interest in technological exploration among the children.
SoftBank Robotics' continuous contributions in the field of education are not only reflected in providing teenagers with opportunities to intimately engage with cutting-edge technology but also in their relentless efforts to cultivate future tech talents. Through such experiential activities, SoftBank Robotics is igniting the curiosity and desire for exploration in the next generation, giving wings to their technological dreams. As technology continues to advance, SoftBank Robotics will continue to play a unique role in the field of education, making greater contributions to the cultivation of future talents with innovative spirit and practical abilities.
SoftBank Robotics, serving as a bridge between technology and education, is shaping the future of the tech world with its unique charm and profound influence. Each experience is a touch to the children's hearts; each programming session is a seed for future innovation. Let us look forward together to these young "small craftsmen" growing into tomorrow's tech leaders under the companionship of SoftBank Robotics, jointly creating a smarter and more beautiful future.
