The 22nd Shanghai Education Expo will kick off at the Shanghai Exhibition Center on May 16. Hosted by the Shanghai Educational Press Group, this year's expo, centered around artificial intelligence, will feature an offline exhibition lasting through Sunday and an online showcase running until the end of June.

With nearly 130 educational institutions participating, the expo is divided into various exhibition areas, including AI+Education, higher education, regional education, vocational education, and AI education community zones.

A highlight of this year's expo is the joint presentation of the municipal-level exhibition area by the three provinces and one municipality in the Yangtze River Delta region. This collaboration aims to demonstrate how these regions are leveraging AI to transform teaching models and research paradigms.

The Yangtze River Delta region education integration area will showcase outstanding AI education achievements from universities and schools in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces. The expo will also feature innovative cases of AI integration in education, such as Shanghai Luwan Senior High School's modern curriculum system that incorporates AI technology into courses. Universities like Fudan University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University will showcase how they use AI to drive educational transformation.

The regional education area showcases how the 16 districts in Shanghai explore the deep integration of AI and education and new models. Specifically, how Pudong integrates curriculum resources, digital tools, and teaching spaces at the regional level, develops an AI curriculum system covering primary and secondary schools, equips classrooms with AI teaching terminals, and ensures 100 percent curriculum implementation.

Furthermore, the expo will focus on four key topics through exchange sessions, such as "Reshaping the Boundaries of Education and Industry-Education Integration".

An exciting addition this year is "AI in Education: Insights from Directors", a series of short videos exploring the impact of AI on education across Shanghai's districts.

Themed activities at the expo will include discussions on literary writing in the AI era, 2D paper puppet animation from an AI perspective, as well as campus cultural performances and vocational experience activities for visitors to enjoy.
