About the Programs

The China–U.S. Young Maker Competition is hosted by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China and co-organized by institutions including the Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange, Tsinghua University, Beijing Gehua Cultural Development Group, the China University Science Park Alliance, and American partners.

The competition is themed "Co-Making the Future." It encourages young innovators to use digital technologies, open-source tools, and design innovation to explore solutions to global challenges in areas such as resilient communities, environmental protection, public health, clean energy, and sustainable development.

The event aims to build a cross-cultural platform for collaboration between Chinese and American youth, promote maker culture and open-source sharing, and support young makers in developing innovative prototypes that respond to real social problems.

The International Teenagers AI Robotics Innovation Challenge was held from August 2 to August 4 at the China Soong Ching Ling Science and Culture Center for Young People. It was organized by the Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange and hosted by the China Soong Ching Ling Science and Culture Center for Young People, with technical support from Whale Robot Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

The event brought together more than 100 young robotics enthusiasts from eight countries, including China, the United States, Canada, Turkey, Switzerland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, and Hungary. Participants engaged in collaborative activities and technological challenges centered on artificial intelligence and robotics.

Through activities such as robot competitions, programming tasks, and teamwork challenges, students from different countries collaborated, exchanged ideas, and explored robotics technologies while also participating in cultural exchange and communication.
