The two princesses of Vice Manager Yao Jincheng and his wife were awarded international certificates from the Singapore STEAM Education Association.
In this new era of AI technology, education and growth should not be limited to classroom knowledge, but require a more diverse learning environment. This is something that Yao Jincheng, Deputy Manager of Luosheng Enterprise, deeply understands. His two beloved children participated in the 2024 Singapore STEAM Summer Camp together this year. This experience brought about significant changes to the family and the children. Let’s share Deputy Manager Yao’s children’s transformative journey after participating in the STEAM Summer Camp.
Children’s growth and the enhancement of creative thinking
In the interview, Deputy Manager Yao discussed the children’s growth and transformation. “Previously, my child was rather passive when facing problems, always waiting for instructions. But this summer camp made her more proactive, and she can come up with new solutions on her own when encountering problems.” He happily pointed out that the children’s creative thinking has significantly improved. “This ability is very important in actual corporate management work, and I am very proud of this performance.” This experience not only improved the children’s problem-solving skills, but also showed them a different way of thinking when interacting with their families, demonstrating their significant growth.
Expanding international perspectives and career exploration
This summer camp not only provided skills training but also ignited the children’s passion for exploring the future. Deputy Manager Yao shared, “After they came back, they often asked me questions about technology and artificial intelligence, which surprised me. These are topics I frequently encounter in my work, and the children have even begun to think about how these technologies will affect their future lives—this is a significant shift.” Yao Jincheng observed that the children not only gained knowledge during the study tour but also developed new imaginations about their future lives. “This experience clearly broadened their horizons and made them begin to seriously consider the connection between technology and their careers.”
Independent problem-solving ability
Furthermore, the summer camp also cultivated the children’s problem-solving abilities. “In the past, when they encountered difficulties, they would always seek help from me or their teachers, but now they can calmly think of different solutions on their own. This will be very helpful for their future studies and careers,” said Deputy Manager Yao. He added that this independent problem-solving approach and calm judgment are precisely the abilities he values in his work. “This is a crucial step in their growth, and this ability will definitely bring great benefits when facing challenges in the future.”
Cross-cultural communication and social skills enhancement
The children’s social skills have also improved significantly during this summer camp. “Previously, they were quite shy in interpersonal interactions, especially when facing children from different cultural backgrounds. But after this summer camp, they have become more confident and can easily communicate with classmates from different countries.” Deputy Manager Yao specifically mentioned that this multicultural environment helped the children overcome psychological barriers, which will be a very valuable asset in the future, whether in school or in the workplace.
Teacher guidance and hands-on learning experience
When discussing the children’s experience with the courses, Deputy Manager Yao mentioned a story that left a deep impression on them. “They especially loved the AI and robotics courses. The teachers’ teaching methods were very interesting and their explanations were very clear. More importantly, they allowed the children to do hands-on activities and build their practical skills.” Deputy Manager Yao believes that the key is for teachers to guide and ignite the children’s enthusiasm for learning, which has generated a strong interest in the application of AI technology and will become an important driving force for their continued learning in the future.
Suggestions and expectations for future courses
Regarding future summer camp courses, Deputy Manager Yao also offered some suggestions. “I hope to incorporate financial literacy education in the future, allowing children to understand money management and business concepts earlier, which is crucial for their career development. Additionally, I hope there will be more courses that cultivate innovative thinking, teaching children how to develop concrete solutions and plans from an idea. This will greatly benefit their future innovation abilities and career choices.”
Conclusion
Deputy Manager Yao excitedly recalled this invaluable experience, noting that the children not only learned to operate AI technology or conduct experiments, but more importantly, they improved their learning motivation and independent innovation abilities. This Singapore STEAM summer camp was not only a learning journey for the children, but also a growth experience that allowed them to explore the future and broaden their international horizons. Through this experience, Deputy Manager Yao also witnessed the children discovering their unlimited potential, making this summer one of their most cherished memories.
