LOUD Actively Participates in Social Services: Hosting a Visit from Teachers and Students of the International Department of Shanghai High School

On the afternoon of December 11, all Grade 9 and 10 students, led by their House Program mentors, ventured out of the school campus to conduct site visits to various companies, universities, museums, and other locations. To cater to the diverse interests and career aspirations of the students, the visits were divided into three main directions: Research Exploration, Cultural Journey, and Career Experience. Seventeen destinations, including the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, NYU Shanghai, Shanghai Grand Theatre, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Agriculture and Biology, Shanghai University Engineering Training Center, Meituan, NIO, and others, attracted students to explore.

01 Research Exploration

Chancellor Tong Shijun of NYU Shanghai welcomed the teachers and students, encouraging the students to pursue their dreams from high school, focus on their interests, and actively explore. The teachers at NYU Shanghai led the group to visit the Shanghai Laboratory of Urban Design and Urban Science (LOUD). During Professor Guan's urban design class, the students gained an in-depth understanding of the application and impact of AI and energy on urban planning, actively interacted with the professors and teachers during the Q&A sessions.

Students usually learn in their daily classrooms, systematically absorbing a wealth of theoretical knowledge. Growth does not only occur within the confines of the campus; this "immersive" visit to the workplace environment helps students understand the demands of different job roles for knowledge and abilities. It is like a seed filled with hope, deeply planted in the hearts of every student. Everyone has also come to a deeper realization of the diversity and infinite possibilities of knowledge. They will continue to bravely explore the unknown and pursue their own dreams on the path of growth. Finally, we extend our sincere thanks and heartfelt blessings to all the enterprises, universities, and museum staff who supported and participated in this event.

We visited the LOUD in NYU Shanghai, an institution renowned for its cutting-edge research. Additionally, we toured the campus of NYU Shanghai, which boasts a vibrant learning atmosphere and impressive architectural design. The campus not only provides an excellent environment for the laboratory but also fosters a conducive space for students. Overall, the visit was highly beneficial, offering a genuine understanding of numerous urban design cases.
