• Schools can deliver instruction through an intensive week, integrate content into subjects like information technology and science, or add projects and after-school activities.
• Grade-level goals progress from recognizing everyday AI in early primary to using AI tools in grades three and four, with middle school covering data preparation, model training, and core algorithm principles.
• High school coursework centers on project-based design of AI systems to strengthen practical application skills.
• The policy supports a national push to build an AI talent pipeline and elevates teacher training and competencies, reflecting Hangzhou’s growing tech ecosystem that includes firms such as DeepSeek and Unitree Robotics.
