Beijing Holds 2026 Youth AI Practice Activity With 201 Schools and 963 Entries

On September 13, the 2026 Beijing Youth Artificial Intelligence Application Practice Activity held its honors release at the Beijing No. 8 Middle School Jingxi Campus in Mentougou District under the theme "Co-creating the Future with AI." Co-hosted by the Beijing Association for Science and Technology, the municipal education commission, the Communist Youth League Beijing Committee and the Mentougou district government, the event involved teachers and students from 201 schools across 16 districts plus Yizhuang and Yanshan, received 963 entries, reached 18,000 beneficiaries, and advanced 180 entries to final evaluation. Beijing Jingshan School Jingxi Experimental School released the Zhisheng Wanwu curriculum at the event.

This is a youth AI literacy practice activity jointly promoted by a local science association and education authorities, covering 16 Beijing districts plus Yizhuang and Yanshan with clear participation figures, making it a sample for observing how regional AI education is implemented and supported by curricula. Its impact centers on event organization and curriculum supply: it gives science teachers and students a practice platform to engage with experts and companies, while the Zhisheng Wanwu curriculum and the planned AI-themed exhibition point to regular courses and exhibition-based teaching resources. The original text provides no quantitative results on student ability gains or curriculum effects, so outcomes still need later public data. Teachers and students from 201 schools across 16 Beijing districts plus Yizhuang and Yanshan took part, with 963 entries and 180 advancing to final evaluation, forming a checkable regional participation scale. Beijing Jingshan School Jingxi Experimental School released the Zhisheng Wanwu curriculum to support regular AI exploration and innovation practice for young people.
