We separated into six teams for discussion. 

The first team presented their summary. Mr. Bingo Wong (華南師範大學附屬中學黃秉剛) said future education was very important because of our retirement fund. He said science needed to be integrated and fusion.  Mathematics is key subject but started from data. 

Then he explained AI education based on A) Data, B) Model, C) Algorithm and D) Coding.  B&C was core.  The future AI teacher should think the combination of ABCD and we needed to enhance IT education.

The second team was my team and our representative Ms. Li Qing (李青, 北京第十二中學信息技術).  We summarized AI into Theory and Practice. Sometimes, they were linked together and we had try to separate hardware and software but it always combined in the course.  Therefore, we used AI+X.
