In the past, Wang Zixuan, who lives in Yangtou Village at the foot of Tiantai Mountain in Taizhou, spent his homework, watching TV, and playing. During the summer vacation this year, the 12-year-old learned to build a robot on a "cloud computer" and was able to program a robot car to find treasure and deliver goods.

After the new semester begins, Wang Zixuan will be in the fifth grade at the Central Primary School in Sanhe Town, Tiantai County, Taizhou City. This summer, the school opened a cloud robot programming interest class for the first time. Although more than a dozen primary school students live in many cities, they completed this summer interest course with the help of a kind of equipment called "cloud computer" and had a summer vacation with high technology.

These cloud computers were donated to the school by Ali's "Young Cloud Student Program". Dozens of computers form a computer room, which at first glance is similar to an ordinary computer classroom, but if you look closely, you will find that the cloud computer has only a screen and a mouse, but there is no host computer. Its computing and storage are on the cloud. Each student has his own cloud computer account, no matter at school or at home, as long as there is a screen, you can log in to the cloud computer.

The Young Cloud Student Program is a science and technology public welfare project launched by Alibaba in October 2021 to donate cloud computers based on Aliyun Shadow Technology to primary and secondary schools in underdeveloped areas to help improve the information technology infrastructure and stimulate children's digital creativity earlier. Xiao Yun has landed in 103 schools across the country and has opened personal computer accounts for more than 60,000 students.

This year, Junior Yun team and rural teachers jointly launched a series of "cloud technology courses", including 3D printing, AI painting, smart music, large model science popularization, double carbon science popularization and so on, hoping to open a door to cutting-edge technology for children.

In the past, Wang Zixuan's school also had robot programming classes, but it usually required everyone to "physically gather" to the computer classroom to listen to the teacher's on-site teaching and practice in the computer room. With cloud computers, location is no longer a problem, and computers are no longer a necessary tool. As long as there is a screen and an account, students can take classes and practice anytime and anywhere, whether through mobile phones, Pad or computers. After creative development in the cloud, all the children's works can also be stored in the cloud.

In order to keep up with the ever-changing pace of science and technology, teachers are constantly improving themselves. Chen Ana, Wang Zixuan's information technology teacher, set aside her own rest time to teach herself virtual robot courses and slowly sharpen the lessons.

Just two days ago, Zhou Runzhou, another student of Anna Chen, attended the 2023 Global Conference on Wisdom Education. As the only pupil to speak at the conference, he shared the artificial intelligence knowledge he had learned on the cloud computer. AI enables machines to think and solve problems like human beings, he said. "in the future, I hope artificial intelligence will not only help people in all countries talk to each other, but also allow me to talk to cats and dogs."

It can be said that "new tools develop new potential", because with more advanced hardware, the world of teachers and students has been broadened.

The junior cloud team said that the next step is to continue to promote the development of cloud science and technology courses. Recently, Juvenile Cloud also launched a public welfare lecturer recruitment program, first of all, to convene the first batch of volunteer lecturers for Ali Group, who will bring cloud science and technology micro-classes on artificial intelligence, large models, chips, cloud computing and other topics. In the future, these micro-courses will appear on every student's cloud computer desktop and become their best technology gift.
