Weekend Program for Gifted Children ------ Future Star Program (FSP)

In today's increasingly competitive global technology landscape, cultivating top innovative talent is a core strategy related to national future competitiveness. We note that traditional education models often struggle to fully meet the growth needs of children with exceptional scientific talent and potential. They require broader horizons, more cutting-edge guidance, and deeper practical opportunities.

The "Future Star Cultivation Program" aims to establish an elite training platform that breaks conventional norms. We are committed to selecting adolescents with the most scientific curiosity and raw innovation potential, both within and outside the school, providing them with precious opportunities to directly dialogue, learn, and collaborate in research with world-top scientists (including Nobel Laureates).

(I) Goals

High-End Guidance: Through personal guidance from Shenzhen Bay Laboratory and Nobel-level scientists, expose trainees to the forefront of scientific thought and methods, establishing lofty scientific aspirations.
Potential Stimulation: Under the inspiration of top scientists, deeply explore trainees' research potential, cultivating their critical thinking, innovation ability, and capacity to solve complex problems.
Personalized Cultivation: Adopt a "one-on-one mentorship system," tailoring learning and research paths for each trainee, achieving true individualized education.
International Perspective: Create an international small academic community, allowing trainees to practice communication and collaboration skills through interaction, building a future global academic network.

(II) Program Details

Target Audience: Select students aged 11-15 (middle school level) from within and outside the school who demonstrate extraordinary talent and strong interest in fields such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science.
Duration: Each cycle lasts 1 year (based on the academic year).
Time: Every Saturday or Sunday, full day (6-8 instructional hours), with concentrated research training camps during winter and summer vacations.
Model: "One-on-One" or "One-on-Two" Mentor Tracking System. Each trainee will be matched with a Nobel Laureate or equivalent top scientist as their main mentor.
Support: Small group seminars, master专题讲座 (special lectures), laboratory visits and practice, project-based learning.

(III) Core Content and Features

Nobel Mentor "One-on-One" Guidance:
The mentor will have in-depth online or offline exchanges with the trainee at least 1-2 times per month, listening to research progress, answering questions, and providing direction. Will recommend reading materials, research topics, and guide the completion of a small original research project.

Frontier Topic Seminars:
Led by scientists and their PhD teams, conduct in-depth seminars on cutting-edge scientific fields (e.g., quantum computing, gene editing, artificial intelligence, materials science).

"Future Star" Lecture Hall:
Regularly invite multiple Nobel Laureates, Turing Award winners, etc., from different fields to give special lectures, sharing their scientific lives and latest thoughts, broadening trainees' horizons.

Top Laboratory Immersion Experience:
Organize visits and short-term internships for trainees to the laboratories of their mentors' affiliated top universities or research institutions domestically and abroad, experiencing the research atmosphere firsthand.

Academic Achievement Presentation:
At the end of the academic year, trainees must complete a high-quality research report or project outcome and defend it in English at the "Future Star Academic Conference," with点评 (comments) from a panel of scientists.
