A hands-on workshop focused on integrating artificial intelligence into primary and secondary education was held on March 12 at the Dongfanghong Campus of Hunan First Normal University.
The event, titled “Future Teacher Public Welfare Program: Collaborative Workshop for K-12 Scenarios”, was organized by the China Teacher Development Foundation, and co-hosted by the Secretariat of the AI Education Application Laboratory, Hunan First Normal University, and the Beijing ByteDance Charity Foundation.
A total of 45 participants attended, including primary and secondary school teachers, education researchers, and technology representatives from the Changsha area. The workshop centered around the theme of “Deep Integration of AI and K-12 Education”.
The program adopted a five-step collaborative approach: goal identification, workflow mapping, pain point recognition, capability matching, and value prioritization. Participants were divided into subject-based groups—including Chinese, mathematics, and English—to engage in in-depth co-creation sessions.
With joint efforts from teachers, technical experts, and subject specialists, each group produced a high-quality Scenario Requirements Document. The teams also compiled an initial list of high-value AI application scenarios, which will support future regular training sessions and the development of educational AI agents.
The workshop marked a key step in the implementation of the Future Teacher Public Welfare Program in Hunan Province. The organizers said it provided valuable experience for exploring how AI can empower K-12 teaching and support teacher professional development. It also laid a solid foundation for Hunan First Normal University to advance digital education and better serve basic education.
