作為大連東軟信息學(xué)院和澳大利亞昆士蘭大學(xué)的年度科技創(chuàng)新盛事，Start-up China項(xiàng)目在2024年的盛夏如期而至。該項(xiàng)目在兩校的共同努力下已成功舉辦五屆，其影響力與日俱增，也標(biāo)志著兩校合作迎來(lái)新的里程碑。五年來(lái)，已累計(jì)有136名澳大利亞學(xué)生和70余名大東軟學(xué)子通過該項(xiàng)目開展“IT+創(chuàng)新”實(shí)踐。

2024 Start-up China項(xiàng)目以“AI啟航，創(chuàng)新無(wú)界”為主題，以激發(fā)更多創(chuàng)新思維，推動(dòng)AI的更多嘗試與更快發(fā)展。來(lái)自昆士蘭大學(xué)的14名學(xué)生和我校17名學(xué)生組成共同學(xué)習(xí)課堂，在項(xiàng)目導(dǎo)師的指導(dǎo)下圍繞“智慧城市與智慧生活”這一主題，在為期四周的時(shí)間里展開“IT+創(chuàng)新”項(xiàng)目實(shí)踐，并最終形成創(chuàng)業(yè)項(xiàng)目，進(jìn)行匯報(bào)路演。

同時(shí)，國(guó)際學(xué)生也深入學(xué)習(xí)中國(guó)文化并親身感受中國(guó)數(shù)字經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展。尤其是在項(xiàng)目期間，他們體驗(yàn)了中國(guó)高鐵，學(xué)會(huì)了使用微信和支付寶進(jìn)行電子支付，還嘗試用美團(tuán)和餓了么點(diǎn)外賣。昆士蘭大學(xué)的學(xué)生們驚嘆于中國(guó)的數(shù)字化發(fā)展程度。

經(jīng)過四周的合作與努力，在項(xiàng)目高潮——國(guó)際路演日活動(dòng)中，由31位項(xiàng)目學(xué)生分成的五個(gè)項(xiàng)目團(tuán)隊(duì)在A2-309學(xué)術(shù)報(bào)告廳展示了他們此次項(xiàng)目的創(chuàng)新創(chuàng)業(yè)成果。路演活動(dòng)吸引了近200名在校師生現(xiàn)場(chǎng)觀看，并通過學(xué)校官方微博進(jìn)行了同步直播。

活動(dòng)中，五個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)展示了他們的創(chuàng)新項(xiàng)目，其中有針對(duì)健身愛好者設(shè)計(jì)的個(gè)性化、基于地理位置的健身導(dǎo)航服務(wù)、為中澳學(xué)生打造的社交平臺(tái)、車載攝像頭識(shí)別系統(tǒng)、智能地圖系統(tǒng)、全新旅行體驗(yàn)項(xiàng)目等，緊緊圍繞項(xiàng)目主題，力求通過所學(xué)讓生活更加智能便捷。我校選送2024中國(guó)國(guó)際大學(xué)生創(chuàng)新大賽省賽的優(yōu)秀學(xué)生項(xiàng)目代表與學(xué)生企業(yè)代表也受邀參與項(xiàng)目展示，進(jìn)一步豐富了活動(dòng)內(nèi)容。

本次活動(dòng)是我校在學(xué)術(shù)和文化交流上的創(chuàng)新與持續(xù)探索，更是多國(guó)青年才俊溝通與學(xué)習(xí)的橋梁?；仡櫿麄€(gè)項(xiàng)目歷程，Start-up China國(guó)際IT創(chuàng)新實(shí)踐項(xiàng)目不僅為中外學(xué)子提供了一個(gè)展示自我、實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想的舞臺(tái)，更促進(jìn)了兩國(guó)青年之間的文化交流與思想碰撞。項(xiàng)目的成功舉辦也是對(duì)兩校合作成果的一次全面展示。在未來(lái)的日子里，Start-up China項(xiàng)目將以開放包容的姿態(tài)迎接來(lái)自世界各地的創(chuàng)新力量。懷揣夢(mèng)想與激情的青年才俊們將在科技與創(chuàng)新的道路上勇往直前，為共同推動(dòng)科技的發(fā)展與應(yīng)用貢獻(xiàn)力量。

學(xué)生感悟澳洲學(xué)生代表

Travis Neil Graham：Over the past month, living in China has enriched me with unforgettable personal and professional growth experiences. I've treasured every moment immersed in the rich and diverse culture of Dalian. Working closely with the mentors at Dalian Neusoft University of Information has equipped us with the essential skills of an entrepreneur as we all aspire and work towards launching our own ventures. Furthermore, collaborating in an international team with students from DNUI has been a privilege, and I know I speak on for all from The University of Queensland when I say that we've forged lasting friendships. Reflecting on my time here in Dalian, I am grateful to the staff and students of DNUI for hosting the program.

Elliot Bailey：I and thirteen other students from the University of Queensland had the privilege of participating in the Dalian Neusoft University of Information Start-Up China Program this year. Many of us had never visited China before – and a few had never travelled overseas at all – so we didn’t know exactly what to expect. However, we were so fortunate to experience the most incredible hospitality of Dalian and the staff and students of DNUI. I think the structure of this program was excellent. Although the technical project was interesting, the diversity in daily activities and many visits to other places made the trip so worth going on. We felt that we explored Dalian as thoroughly as we could have, and in the process, we learned a great amount about China, its people, food, history, economy and culture. It was also a lot of fun to be able to go on excursions such as the Sunasia Ocean World, Dalian Forest Zoo and Lvshun. The best part of this trip was of course the people. We were so lucky to have lucky guide us around on our adventures, and of course Hannah too. Our lecturers Ai, Marvin and Klaus were all so knowledgeable and approachable. Our fellow students Leslie, Johnny, Marina and Alec were so friendly, and we felt honoured to spend our time in Dalian with them too. Thanks must also be given to all the other staff and students, including the guests for the cultural activities and lecturers, the DNUI administration staff, the project mentors and the other students who participated in the program. We are all so grateful for everyone’s time, friendship and hospitality.We hope to see you all again in the future!
