A clear pathway that connects research direction, hands-on AI project work, and the communication of academic outcomes for students in Grades 8–12.
Grades 8–12Secondary-school pathway
Three stagesStructured growth plan
AI researchProject-based learning
Two time zonesU.S. Eastern and Beijing
Three-stage framework
Explore a direction, build an authentic project, and communicate the results
This is an overview of the planning framework. Final stages, instructional hours, mentors, and deliverables are governed by the official program notice and written agreement.
AI project and research process
Investigate an authentic problem while developing literature-search, method-selection, analysis, and independent-thinking skills.
Students participate in the work themselves; no ghostwriting or substitution.
Outcomes and academic communication
Organize the research process into a portfolio, academic profile, paper, or presentation that shows the student’s development.
Publication, admission, or any other specific result is not guaranteed.
Student outcomes
Build research ability—and work that demonstrates it
The plan supports long-term academic development before university applications by connecting interest, practice, and communication.
