Resonance with the Era
Unprecedented Information Accessibility
The current era is marked by unparalleled access to information. The internet is a treasure trove of knowledge and data, but not everyone knows how to sift through it effectively. Next Idea to Advocate empowers students to navigate this vast sea of information efficiently, a skill highly resonant with the times.
Empowering Digital Voices
The rapid evolution of digital technologies has granted every individual a platform to voice their thoughts and opinions. To create a genuine impact in this digital age, it's crucial to comprehend the dynamics of communication. This project ensures students resonate with the era by empowering them to navigate and communicate effectively in the digital landscape.
Bridging Information Disparities
Artificial intelligence algorithms have given rise to personalized content recommendations, contributing to information disparities. These disparities can fragment societies and obstruct a holistic understanding of critical issues. The project encourages students to address and mitigate these gaps, promoting more informed and cohesive communities.

Positive Advocacy Experience

Positive Advocacy Experience
I like photography and traditional culture. I have been to many ancient traditional houses to study and research, and have taken many photos. After I came back, I sorted out the photos and held a public exhibition in a local shopping mall, which attracted tens of thousands of people, enhancing the public's understanding of traditional houses and allowing them to appreciate a traditional aesthetic that has been neglected.
Positive Advocacy Experience
I like artificial intelligence, I studied a lot of technology materials by myself, and studied the artificial intelligence course of Stanford University. I noticed that people around me still have little understanding of AI, and there are many unscrupulous businesses that take advantage of people's lack of understanding to fool around with the concept of "AI". I took the initiative to plan an AI science fair in my community and hand-made a community AI book to distribute to people who need to know.
