Alibaba's Qwen App Launches Free Summer AI Literacy Course for Primary Students

Alibaba's Qwen App has partnered with the Student Innovation Center of Shanghai Jiao Tong University to launch the "Qwen AI Creative Classroom," a free summer AI literacy course for primary school students. The curriculum is integrated into the Qwen App and is designed to teach children how to interact with and create using AI. This initiative highlights the growing trend of integrating AI literacy into early education, preparing younger generations for an AI-driven future. It also demonstrates how tech giants are collaborating with academic institutions to democratize AI education through public welfare programs. The curriculum is tailored to different age groups, ranging from basic AI interaction for lower grades to independent AI creation projects for higher grades. Following this launch, the program aims to expand into more primary and secondary schools as a public welfare initiative.
