Participating in the Chinese Language + AI Robot Summer School at Huazhong University of Science and Technology has been an incredible experience filled with diverse activities and learning opportunities. From engaging in traditional cultural activities to exploring cutting-edge technology, this program offers a comprehensive glimpse into both the historical and modern ways of life in China.
One of the highlights was the historic dragon boat race, which not only showcased the rich cultural heritage but also highlighted team spirit among participants. It was a great way to start the programme. Cycling on the beautiful campus allowed us to appreciate the scenic surroundings, while fan making, and calligraphy sessions provided deep insights into traditional Chinese arts and language.
Building relationships with fellow students from different countries has been immensely rewarding. It’s inspiring to see how quickly we’ve bonded over shared experiences and interests, creating lasting friendships that span the globe.
The robotic lectures have been particularly impressive. The faculty at HUST-MSE are leading experts in their fields, providing us with insider knowledge and hands-on experiences that are truly at the forefront of technology. The course structure is well thought out, with breaks in the middle of the day allowing us to rest, socialise, and explore the campus further.
We also had the chance to visit Wuhan's old town and the iconic Yellow Crane Tower, enriching our understanding of the local history and culture. The food has been another exciting aspect of this journey; We’ve especially enjoyed the bao buns and the local favourite ‘热干面’.
Overall, our time at HUST-MSE has been incredibly fulfilling and eye-opening. We’ve enjoyed every moment and are eager to continue with the rest of the program. The combination of academic rigor, cultural immersion, and social activities makes this summer school an unforgettable experience.
