Startup4Chinese #98｜AI 时代，我们希望孩子成长为什么样的人？

当AI可以讲题、改作文、写程序，孩子需要学习的，不只是如何使用工具，更是如何判断什么值得做、理解他人的需要，并为自己的选择负责。本场圆桌邀请张英锋与Steven Huang，从家庭教育、学校实践与未来工作出发，讨论AI学习伙伴带来的机会，以及可能被效率掩盖的成长。我们希望一起寻找更长远的教育方向：让孩子借助AI拓展能力，却不把思考、合作、同理心与创造真实价值的责任交给AI。 **分享嘉宾｜张英锋** 张英锋，QHOW Technology 创始人，长期关注 AI 如何改变学习方式、知识传播与个人发展机会。 曾从事软件开发、技术培训与团队管理，并参与指导十余所大学的CO-OP 合作。曾获知乎“2014 年度新知答主”，在科学、数学、教育、历史等领域创作 160 多篇回答和文章，累计阅读超过 3900 万，拥有 26 万关注者。 在本场圆桌中，他将围绕 AI 时代的教育机会与新的就业机会展开讨论：当每个人都能获得随时交流的 AI 学习伙伴，家庭教育与教育服务可以如何改变？当越来越多的任务可以由 AI 完成，哪些新的工作与创业机会正在出现？年轻人又该如何培养跨学科学习、人机协作与自主创造的能力，为未来打开更多可能？ **分享嘉宾｜Steven Huang** Steven Huang，韦德国际高中创始人，加拿大大西北商会副会长，有多个行业从业、创业经验。 在本场圆桌中，他将从学校一侧参与讨论：如果教育的目标不只是一份合格作业或一张成绩单，学校怎样通过项目、合作、口头解释与持续反馈，看见孩子的判断、责任和成长？怎样给不同语言与学习背景的学生恰当支持，又让这些做法在教师工作量和家校沟通中真正可行？ 我们想一起拆开的五个场景： 1\. 当 AI 可以完成任务，孩子仍要对什么负责？ 2\. 哪些成长不能被效率取代？ 3\. 有了随时交流的 AI 学习伙伴，大人应该把时间用在哪里？ 4\. 新的工作与创业机会，怎样与真实价值相连？ 5\. 我们怎样知道孩子正在成为更完整的人？ 家长、学生、教师、教育服务从业者，以及关心年轻人成长的社区成员，都可以带一个真实问题来：一次作业争执、一条说不清的 AI 使用规则、一个孩子沉迷效率却失去兴趣的时刻，或一个借助 AI 帮助了别人的小项目。你不需要先懂技术，也不需要先有答案。 这场讨论希望帮助家庭和学校建立一把更稳定的尺子。面对每一种新工具，我们都可以问：它帮助孩子成为什么样的人？它让孩子更能理解和回应真实世界，还是只让结果来得更快？孩子仍在练习哪些只有他自己才能作出的判断、关系与责任？ ▍ 关于 Startup4Chinese Startup4Chinese，成立于加拿大多伦多，致力于联结华人创业者与各个族群中的聪明才智，弘扬华人创业者的创业激情，赋予华人创业者更大力量。Startup4Chinese 主张开放心态，锐意开拓进取，注重脚踏实地，让我们一起享受创新、创业的过程。 ▍ About Startup4Chinese Started in August 2017, Startup4Chinese's mission is to INSPIRE, EMPOWER, and CONNECT entrepreneurial minds not only among Chinese but beyond.

An SD walk in the park

**An autumn service safari through Toronto's Vale of Avoca and Moore Park Ravine** We’ll meet at David A. Balfour Park and head through the Vale of Avoca and Moore Park Ravine. Along the way, we’ll introduce and try out a classic service design tool — the **[service safari](https://servicedesigntools.org/tools/service-safari)**[ ](https://servicedesigntools.org/tools/service-safari)— using the ravine as our real-world playground. We’ll walk, observe, and capture what we notice about how we find, navigate, and experience the place. Our timing is interesting too: The City of Toronto is [currently exploring improvements to the Vale of Avoca](https://haveyoursay.toronto.ca/vale-avoca-ravine-improvements). We’ll compare what we notice, spot patterns and see what questions and opportunities emerge. We’ll also borrow lightly from Design Council’s [Skills for Planet](https://www.designcouncil.org.uk/our-work/skills-for-planet/), widening our lens beyond our own experience to notice the environment around us. **No slides. No presentations. Just curious people, a beautiful fall walk, some service design in the wild and hopefully some good fall colours. 🍁** Bring: comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate layers + a charged phone. No service design experience required - curiosity is plenty. -- Bonus: After the walk, we’ll bring what we learn together into a short set of SDD field notes that we could share with the Vale of Avoca project team.
