Blue Whale Education, December 18, 2018 Today, eight primary school students from China had a dialogue with Nobel laureate Edvard Moser. The event was initiated by Walnut Programming, a technology company focused on improving the quality of teenagers, and issued invitations to millions of teenagers across the country, and finally selected 8 outstanding teenagers to participate in this dialogue activity. The participating youth came from all over the country, covering Xinjiang, Shanghai, Heilongjiang, Henan... The event takes the form of a combination of online and offline. At the event, Edvard Moser expressed his appreciation for the programming ability and logical thinking ability of Chinese teenagers, and said: "Future scientific research is inseparable from the learning of programming."
The Nobel Laureate of this event is Professor Edvard Moser, currently a Norwegian psychologist, neuroscientist, global expert in the field of artificial intelligence, and founding director of the Kavliko Institute of Systems Neuroscience and the Center for Memory Biology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. In 2014, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with his wife, Mebright Moser, and John O'Keefe.
"I want to ask you, what will the future of artificial intelligence look like?" In response to a question from Walnut programming student Li Zhitao, Edvard Moser answered: "In the future, people like you who are interested in programming, especially in the scientific field I study, everyone needs to understand programming, which is a very important part, because we need the help of computers...". Similarly, Lu Haosen, who is only 10 years old from Heilongjiang, put forward his own imagination about the interaction between AI technology and the human brain: "Is there any tool to control dreams? Can I invite my friends to my dreams? Professor Edvard Moser was very surprised by the child's question and patiently answered: "Possibly, I think we are not ready, but I think one day, it is possible to read out the activity of the brain, and when you are old, maybe you can do it!" ”。 During the dialogue, Edvard Moser expressed his appreciation for the programming ability and logical thinking ability of Chinese primary school students, and said: "Future scientific research is inseparable from the learning of programming."
"As a technology company focused on improving the quality of young people, we are happy to provide children with such a platform, so that they have the opportunity to face the world's top scientists and help teenagers innovate in science and technology." In this special dialogue and exchange across ages and regions, our outstanding students not only showed their curiosity and exploration of science and technology, but also showed the spiritual outlook of Chinese teenagers to nobel laureates. Yuhang Wang, co-founder and CTO of Walnut Programming, said. At the same time, Edvard Moser served as the dream-building tutor of Walnut Programming, and worked with Walnut Programming as a course recommendation officer to promote the development of brain science and the stimulation of learning potential of Chinese adolescents. Through the combination of brain science research and technology, chinese teenagers will improve their learning ability and scientific and technological literacy.
In the past few years since its establishment, Walnut Programming has always adhered to the purpose of realizing large-scale teaching according to talents through AI technology. Committed to using scientific and technological means to promote, promote and solve the problems of popularization of programming education, inclusive quality education, and informatization construction of public schools. Walnut Programming has provided programming education courses for more than 3,600 primary and secondary public schools, and millions of public school students have enjoyed the high-quality teaching resources brought by Walnut Programming. In the future, Walnut Programming will maintain a vibrant R&D exploration mechanism and external operation mechanism, close to each family, into public schools, deep into the weak areas of information education, and contribute to the universal benefit of educational resources.
