To cultivate teenagers' cognition and interest in cutting-edge technology, improve primary school students' understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) and brain science, and stimulate their enthusiasm for scientific exploration, on December 27, the Postgraduate Party Branch of the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Electronics, College of Engineering, went to Shantou Waimalu No.4 Primary School to carry out a science and technology volunteer service activity themed "Future Agent Program: A Journey of Wisdom Between the Human Brain and AI". The volunteers explored the mysteries of the human brain and felt the charm of artificial intelligence together with the primary school students.

At the beginning of the activity, Cheng Weibin, the Party member speaker, introduced the basic structure and working principle of the human brain to the students in a vivid and interesting way. Through vivid metaphors and interactive questions, he transformed complex brain science knowledge into content easy for children to understand, arousing the students' strong interest in learning.

Combining theory with practice is the best way to deepen understanding. After learning the basic knowledge of the human brain and artificial intelligence, the activity entered a wonderful interactive session. First, the speaker demonstrated the basic operation methods of AI applications, and explained in detail how to guide AI to create text, videos and audio through text descriptions. To let the students experience the intelligence level of AI more intuitively, a unique "Human-Machine Idiom Solitaire Challenge" was held in the class.

The whole class was divided into 6 groups, each equipped with a Party member volunteer as a instructor. All members of each group worked as a whole to compete with an AI system in idiom solitaire. The students brainstormed, spoke one after another, and racked their brains to think of the next idiom. The classroom soon boiled with the children's excited discussions and cheers. Some groups cooperated tacitly and took turns to connect idioms; some groups studied collectively to discuss the best answer. This unique human-machine confrontation not only tested the students' knowledge reserve, but also cultivated their team spirit.

In this wonderful human-machine confrontation, some groups showed amazing tacit understanding and wisdom in the competition with AI and won the Special Prize; although some groups failed to win the idiom solitaire, they also won the Encouragement Prize for their excellent performance in teamwork. The children's faces were filled with happy smiles, drawing a perfect end to this unique science and technology journey.

This science and technology volunteer service activity not only stimulated the primary school students' strong interest in artificial intelligence, but also lit up their scientific and technological dreams through the vivid and interesting human-machine confrontation. Party member volunteers acted as guides of artificial intelligence, popularized basic AI knowledge in a simple and in-depth way, and led primary school students to scientifically understand AI, a cutting-edge technology. The primary school students learned through interaction and thought in the confrontation, which not only deepened their understanding of AI technology, but also gradually established a correct cognition of artificial intelligence in practice. Next, the Postgraduate Party Branch of the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Electronics will continue to carry out science and technology volunteer service activities, guide teenagers to participate in AI practice, and actively create a good atmosphere where teenagers love science and advocate innovation.
