On the morning of October 20th, there was joy and laughter in the TAL's exhibition hall. In the WISROOM smart classroom experience area, independently developed by TAL, a foreign friend was enthusiastically interacting with the AI teacher on the big screen with a group of companions. "Energy, Sun..." The words on the big screen were answered and turned into energy to repair the spaceship, ultimately helping the protagonist successfully reach Mars.

This was an AI experience class for primary school English. The course used immersive design to bring participants into the story and achieve real-time interaction through AI technology such as motion recognition, facial recognition, and voice recognition for attendance, questioning, scoring, and encouragement. Among those experiencing the classroom deeply in front of the screen was John Edwards, the UK Trade Commissioner to China.
