Digital intelligence makes universal sharing of high-quality scientific education resources a reality, allowing teaching students in accordance with their aptitude to move from ideals to practice, allowing education evaluation and management to be scientific and intelligent, abolishing the boundaries of learning, and accelerating the formation of a lifelong learning system.

  Du Rongzhen, director of the Haidian District Education Committee, introduced the Haidian District’s promotion strategy to strengthen the experimental zone of science education in primary and secondary schools, and promoted the leap in the district’s science education quality system. He hopes to balance educational equity and the cultivation of top innovative talents, link basic education with lifelong learning, integrate school resources and social resources, evaluate educational achievements and feasibility of sustainable development, and build a new pattern of scientific education.

  Fang Weihai, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor at the School of Chemistry of Beijing Normal University, presented a special report entitled "Cultivation of Innovative Talents in Primary and Secondary Schools". He suggested that young teachers actively change their educational and teaching concepts, actively learn basic knowledge of artificial intelligence, use artificial intelligence models to assist in teaching reform, combine educational innovation and development trends, and develop new deep learning algorithms and models, so that they can calmly face the challenges faced in future teaching work and truly achieve distinctive innovation in intelligent teaching.

  Wu Yinghui, director of the Haidian District Educational Science Research Institute, spoke with the title "Innovation Practice of Science Education in the Digital Intelligence Era", and introduced the contents of the update of scientific education concepts through digital intelligence empowerment, the innovation of teaching methods through digital intelligence technology empowerment, the new paradigm of scientific education resource generation, the new mechanism of scientific evaluation of digital intelligence empowerment, and the innovation of embedded teaching and research models, presenting the specific strategies of Haidian District to explore the "addition" of scientific education in the digital intelligence era.

  Xiong Yongchang, Party Secretary and Principal of Beijing No. 101 Middle School, introduced the school's experience in science education around the theme of "Exploration and Practice of Multi-dimensional Linkage and Integration of Science Education". He said that based on the three-layer eight-domain curriculum system of the national curriculum, the school has established a multi-level and diverse science education curriculum system; through the combination of popularization and improvement, the integration of subject practice with interdisciplinary integration, and various clubs and projects; from problems to topics, encourage students to find true love; from interests to interests, guide students to study real problems, from studies to career, and lead students to devote themselves to scientific research and carry out real research. The school has coordinated resources inside and outside the school to establish a large-scale and medium-sized system for the cultivation of top innovative talents.

  Liu Xiaohui, principal of Renmin University High School, shared school experience with the title "Practical Exploration of AI Empowering Science Education". Ren Weidong, principal of Beijing No. 80 Middle School, shared typical experiences in "Constructing the System of Science Education from the Perspective of Groupization". Lu Youjun, director of the Huangpu District Education Research Institute of Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, introduced the regional experience of "Huangpu Exploration of the Special Course Group of Science Education to Help Cultivate Innovative Talents".

  Zhu Lida, deputy director of the Organization and Personnel Department of the China Association for Science and Technology, said that the China Association for Science and Technology has always been committed to promoting the training of science education and innovative talents for young people. Through the construction of grassroots organizations, deepening collaborative cooperation with the education system, promoting the "three-head system" (hospital directors, primary and secondary principals, and agricultural technology station managers) nationwide, and inviting educators to join the science and technology association organization network to jointly develop science education resources. He suggested that primary and secondary schools make full use of high-quality resources such as national societies and research institutes in the Science and Technology Association system, and form a joint effort in scientific curriculum design, teacher training, and practical position construction to implement "science education as addition" to provide systematic support for cultivating new people of the era with the potential of scientists and the ideal of serving the country with science and technology.

  Zhang Yang, director of the Comprehensive Department of the Off-campus Education Training Supervision Department of the Ministry of Education, made suggestions on promoting scientific education, and we must deeply understand the importance of "addition" of scientific education. Science education is related to national strategy, national quality, and comprehensive education reform; promoting scientific education must adhere to clear goals and build a systematic structure of primary and secondary schools with artificial intelligence education as the driving force and training system construction as the axis; promoting scientific education must make good use of the advantages of artificial intelligence, strengthen comprehensive capabilities, use AI to promote teaching reform, track learning, and optimize talent training paths. She looks forward to promoting the "double reduction" work for a long time and continuing to deepen it, and further mobilizing social forces to jointly promote the connotation-oriented development of science education in primary and secondary schools.

  At the seminar, in-depth exchanges and discussions were conducted in the form of a parallel forum on three topics: innovation in school science education practice, new exploration of innovative talent training paths, and innovative talent training in the digital and intelligent era. Representatives from 17 schools shared their exploration experiences under special topics in various fields.
