北京中学全球院士公益创新英才营圆满落幕!
2026 年 1 月 30 日,北京中学与京领共同举办的“全球院士公益创新英才营”圆满落幕。剑桥大学工程学终身讲席教授、英国皇家工程院院士吉罗拉米教授亲临北中校园,带领来自全国各地的优秀学子,沉浸式探索人工智能前沿领域,解锁科研思维密码,感受创新力量的无限可能,开启了一场为期六天的沉浸式科研探索之旅。
开营首日,吉罗拉米院士并未直接切入高深理论,而是以一个贴近科研本质、又易于引发思考的问题开启了本次科研之旅:“数据到底是什么?数据都包括哪些类型?”
这个看似基础却蕴含科研核心的问题,瞬间点燃了学子们的求知热情与表达欲望,同学们纷纷举手、踊跃发言,答案涵盖了生活、学习、科研等各个方面。院士认真倾听每一位学子的回答,时而点头赞许,时而补充引导,在轻松的互动中,不仅拉近了与学子们的距离,更自然引出了后续的学术内容,为六天的科研之旅定下了“理论与实践结合、探索与创新并行”的基调。
在六天的课程中,吉罗拉米院士每天带来精彩的前沿讲座,用通俗易懂的语言、生动鲜活的案例,将抽象的人工智能理论转化为可感知、可理解的知识,带领学子们层层深入探索 AI 的奥秘。
本次英才营以“人工智能第一课”为主题,吉罗拉米院士系统讲授机器学习核心理论,内容涵盖从数据本质到线性建模、从分类算法到数字孪生等前沿领域。课程兼顾学术深度与青少年认知特点,引导学生从“AI 使用者”成长为“科研探索者”。在项目研究环节,学子们自主选题、协作攻关,最终以小组汇报形式展示研究成果,得到院士的亲自点评与指导,并获颁结业证书。
除高水平的学术课程外,北京中学充分发挥育人优势,为营员们设计了丰富多元的校园文化体验。每日开设的人文社科、经济、STEAM、环球历史等特色课程,让学子在科研之余拓展视野;“兴趣岛”升学指导活动,引导学生深入探索自我、梳理成长方向;校园探访与社团活动中,学长学姐志愿者热情分享课程体系与成长故事,让营员真切感受北中“让人成为人,让自己成为自己”的育人理念;开放麦等文艺活动精彩纷呈,欢声笑语不断,在严谨的学术氛围之外,更添一份温暖的归属感。
六天时光虽短,却见证了一次从好奇心到探究力的悄然生长。在北中,学子们不仅走近世界顶尖学术,更浸润于一种以学生为本、充满温度的教育生态。期待这群年轻的探索者,带着这份收获与感动,在未来的创新之路上行稳致远。
学生感受
01 Aurelia
Good morning, esteemed teachers, dear classmates, and friends. I'm Aurelia. Standing here today, I feel both honored and thoughtful. Over the past few days, this AI camp has been more than just an educational experience—it has been a transformative journey.
When I first entered this camp, I thought I understood AI, since we interact with it in everyday life through Deep Seek, recommendations, and smart assistants. But here, we didn't just use AI; we explored its inner workings.
One of the greatest benefits of this camp was experiencing university-style learning. Instead of just memorizing facts, we tackled foundational questions: How does a machine learn? What does“intelligence”mean in the context of artificial intelligence? We dissected algorithms like detectives, following the logic step by step. I discovered that AI isn't magic—it's a blend of math, design, and human intention.
However, this journey was not without its challenges. The real test wasn't coding or theory—it was learning to think from perspective with AI. We had to shift from being users to explorers. Instead of asking,“What can it do for me?”we asked,“How does it achieve what it does?”This shift in mindset—from passive to active, from consumer to creator—was the most difficult yet rewarding leap to make.
In addition to the AI labs, what truly made the experience at Beijing Academy valuable was the diverse courses that encouraged our growth in various dimensions. In the Humanity class, we didn't just discuss concepts, we passionately debated them. We actively articulated our viewpoints, leading to a collision of ideas. The most unforgettable moment came in our STEM class. Armed with only simple wooden sticks, we were tasked with building a bridge. With no high-tech tools or advanced materials, we relied solely on creativity and teamwork. That bridge was not just constructed from wood, it embodied collective intelligence, resilience, and trust.
In this camp, I gained new knowledge and experiences by sitting with students from different schools, grades, and backgrounds. We learned from each other, collaborated, and created our own works. We were able to meet and learn together thanks to the opportunity provided by Beijing Academy. Therefore, we would like to extend our gratitude to Beijing Academy, to the Cambridge academician Professor Girolami, who shared his knowledge, to the dedicated assistants from KingLead, and to all the teachers whose guidance made this experience possible.
02 Andy
Hello everyone! My name is Andy, and I am going to have short talk about what I have enjoyed during my time at this Winter Camp.
First, I especially liked the professor's lectures, because it expanded my knowledge about algorithms. At the beginning, the professor explained what AI is and that it came from neural networks. Then, we studied the different methods of learning for an algorithm, dividing them into supervised learning and unsupervised learning. The course focused on supervised learning, including regression, classification, etc. While learning linear regression, I was perplexed by the maths section, and I understood few of the symbols and functions. But later on on, Mr. Girolami's explanations helped me understand better, and I was able to make my own models. In the end, we made our presentation before the class. I had understanding of the fundamental logic of artificial intelligence, and the course taught me more about learning and working with others.
Second, I enjoyed the Featured Courses of Beijing Academy. The course that I liked the most was Economics. What interests me is that the teacher told us that economics has nothing to do with hoarding money, but it has more connections with the process of distributing resources, contradicting with the common interpretation. The other courses also introduced interesting topics, including explaining definition of the word“Fair”in Social Science, how to make a stable structure in STEM, and the different types of currency used in history in World History.
Finally, the school conditions were also pleasing. The library looked nice and the food at the cafeteria really opened up my appetite.
In conclusion, I had a really good time this week at Beijing Academy. Everything from the lectures to the featured courses, and even the food at the cafeteria brought new experiences into my view. I feel grateful for having this unforgettable experience with all of you. Thank you very much!
