On the evening of September 21st, we held an informative seminar at the VINCI Burlington campus on the topic of how robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance children's competitiveness in high school and college applications. The parents were highly enthusiastic, showing great interest in how technology can help their children stand out.
As the kickoff event for the VINCI 2024-2025 academic year's seminar series, the event attracted many parents, with frequent interactions and an engaging atmosphere.
The guest speakers, Dr. Wang and Dr. Li, provided professional and practical advice on various aspects of college application preparation.
Dr. Wang gave a detailed explanation of each step in the application process: from course selection to extracurricular activities, and standardized testing, offering many valuable suggestions to the parents. He emphasized how to use extracurricular activities and proper course planning to lay a solid foundation for their children's future.
Dr. Wang provided a detailed analysis of each key aspect of the application process: from meticulous course planning to selecting extracurricular activities, and strategies for standardized testing, offering parents comprehensive and practical guidance. He particularly emphasized how choosing AP and honors courses should align with the student's academic interests to ensure both depth and breadth in their studies. Additionally, he pointed out that participating in targeted extracurricular activities, such as research projects, volunteer work, and internships, can help students showcase leadership and social responsibility, further enhancing the competitiveness of their application materials.
Dr. Li provided an in-depth introduction to the unique advantages of robotics competitions in the application process. Through real-life case studies, she demonstrated how students' teamwork, programming, and mechanical design skills, acquired through participation in VEX Go/IQ/V5 robotics competitions and FTC competitions, can become standout features in their application materials. She specifically highlighted that the engineering notebook kept during competitions records the students' entire thought process from design to execution, serving as a key document to showcase their innovative thinking, problem-solving abilities, and hands-on skills. These practical skills not only enhance the personalized aspects of an application but also directly reflect the students' potential and deep expertise in the STEM field.
Highlights of the Seminar:
Active Parent Engagement: Parents showed great interest in how to enhance their children's performance in college applications. During the Q&A session, they actively participated and engaged in lively discussions with the speakers on how to improve their children's competitiveness in the application process.
Practical Content: Parents gained a deeper understanding of the role of course selection, robotics competitions, and the STEAM field in college applications, walking away with valuable, practical experience. Through this seminar, they realized that the STEAM education process not only improves students' academic performance but also gradually builds a foundational knowledge structure in engineering, mechanics, and artificial intelligence. Parents not only gained a clearer understanding of the application path but also recognized the importance of STEAM education in their children's future academic performance and even career development.
Vinci STEAM Education has gained insights into students' needs for future STEM education. In response, it offers both foundational and advanced robotics courses, as well as V5 competitions and programming competitions, to help students enhance their practical skills while mastering academic knowledge. Through these courses, students develop teamwork, problem-solving, and innovative thinking skills during competitions, laying a solid foundation for their future college applications and career development.
