The second cohort of pilot schools for the "Young Innovator Development Program" has been officially announced in Shaanxi Province, with Airport Primary School in Lianhu District, Xi'an, successfully earning this designation.
This provincial-level recognition reflects the education authority's strong endorsement of the school's achievements in science education, its effectiveness in cultivating innovation capabilities among students, and its distinctive approach to school operations. The milestone lays a solid groundwork for the school's systematic advancement of technology-focused education.
For years, the school has embraced its "Flying Culture" philosophy, integrating a balanced focus on moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education while championing innovation through science and technology. Within the classroom, the school embeds creative thinking and scientific inquiry across subjects such as science, information technology, artificial intelligence, mathematics, and labor education.
In its after-school programs, the school consistently offers tech-oriented clubs, including model aircraft exploration, hands-on science experiments, and creative project-based activities, alongside regular events like campus science festivals, innovation showcases, and small-scale invention challenges. By promoting learning through competition and applying knowledge through practice, the school actively engages students and teachers in provincial and national science competitions, STEM education initiatives, digital literacy enhancement, and sci-fi art contests, sparking curiosity across the student body and fostering a vibrant, tech-driven campus atmosphere.
This selection as a pilot base is both an honor and a responsibility. Moving forward, the school will seize this opportunity to deepen early-stage innovation education, broaden access to inclusive science learning, and leverage its role as a model and resource hub to inspire other institutions. The goal remains to empower students in scientific exploration and creative problem-solving, nurturing a new generation of "Flying Youth" who love science, dare to experiment, and excel in hands-on innovation.
