The center regularly offers AI science courses and hosts provincial and municipal youth AI innovation competitions to address the local shortfall in science and technology education resources in primary and secondary schools. 

It also provides digital transformation solutions for local manufacturing enterprises, offering services such as robot procurement, short-term leasing, and custom functionality, promoting deeper integration of AI technology across various socio-economic sectors.

The center plans to further expand its educational initiatives by developing a study base centered on AI education that integrates teaching and tourism. It will also host local and national competitions, using extracurricular activities and science tours to elevate regional AI education to new heights.
