01
敢为人先
深国预的创新基因，从来不是偶然
作为对标美国东海岸一流创新高中的国际学校，深国预始终将 “AI 赋能” 与 “跨学科融合” 刻入教育内核。我们专设 STEM 科创中心与艺术学部，依托 MIT FabLab 全球认证资源，孵化出 “抗摔耳机”“智能情绪手环” 等数十个学生创业项目，更设立专项 “创业扶持大奖”，用真金白银助力学生将创意变为现实；我们开设 AI School，让学生 24 小时都能拥有适配自身节奏的在线学习伙伴，而如今的 “小言老师”，正是这份深耕创新教育决心的又一实体成果 —— 它让 “个性化” 从课堂延伸到留学全场景，让 AI 赋能教育从理念走向可触可感的日常。
这份坚持，让深国预交出了一连串亮眼的 “行业第一” 成绩单，成功开辟 “超级创新高中” 之路：

我们始终坚信，教育的本质是 “塑造人”—— 是让 “生物意义上的人” 成长为 “会独立思考、能解决问题、可拥抱幸福人生” 的社会个体，而 AI，正是让这份 “塑造” 更精准、更温暖、更具针对性的重要工具。
02
为什么是“小言老师”
AI赋能的个性化教育，让每个学生都是唯一
“我们不想做一款冰冷的科技产品，而是想做一个能陪学生走过留学路的‘伙伴’。” 张磊老师在方才的发布会上的这句话，道出了 “小言老师” 的核心设计初心。过去近一年，他带领师生团队投入研发，从理念到落地，始终围绕 “教育需要对话” 这一核心 —— 教育的过程从来不是单向的信息传递，而是人与人之间的理解与共鸣，如今，这份共鸣也能发生在人与 AI 之间。
AI 时代的到来，正在重新定义人类的能力边界，但教育的核心从未改变。当 “有教无类” 第一次有了技术实现的可能，当 AI 能真正理解学生需求、反馈学习困惑甚至共情成长焦虑，我们离 “每个学生都拥有专属教育方案” 的目标便更近了一步。
“小言老师” 的诞生，正是这份思考的落地：它不是简单的 “答题机器”，而是能感知学生节奏、适配成长需求的 “智能同行者”，让 AI 赋能的个性化教育，真正照进每个学生的留学日常。

打破对讲机刻板印象
以设计里的人文温度，摘得缪斯金奖
提起“对讲机”，人们总会想到工地里笨重、嘈杂的设备，但“小言老师”打破了这份刻板印象。它不仅保留了“实时对讲”的核心优势，更在设计上注入了满满的人文关怀：机身采用符合青少年手型的人体工学曲面，握感舒适度大幅提升；独创的呼吸灯交互设计，不仅能提供直观的视觉反馈，更被缪斯设计奖评委盛赞为“体贴入微的成长陪伴”；机身小巧到能轻松塞进校服口袋，课间赶去下一堂课也能随身携带；对讲键恰好落在拇指自然弯曲的位置，哪怕记笔记时突然有疑问、出汗手滑或是没空看屏幕，闭着眼也能精准按到。“不用学、不费脑、一拿就会”，这才是学生真正需要的“科技陪伴”。
这份匠心设计更斩获了国际权威认可——在今年的2025“缪斯设计奖”（MUSE Design Awards）中，“小言老师”摘得产品设计类学生组最高荣誉——金奖，成为本届赛事中唯一获奖的智能对讲类产品！作为由美国博物馆联盟（AAM）与国际奖项协会（IAA）联合创立的全球创意领域顶尖奖项，缪斯设计奖以严格评审标准被誉为创意界“奥斯卡”，这份沉甸甸的认可，不仅是对产品设计美学与用户体验的高度肯定，更是对深国预“科技与人文融合”教育理念的有力佐证。
而 “小言老师” 的诞生，从来不是单一学科的 “独角戏”—— 它源自一场师生携手、跨学科跨领域的深度共创！这里既有深国预 STEM 科创中心的 “硬核” 支撑：团队牵头攻克了硬件功能落地、AI 算法精准适配、留学场景数据深度整合等一系列核心技术难题，为 “小言老师” 筑牢了科技根基；更有深国预艺术学部的 “温柔赋能”：老师们带领学生在产品形态打磨、交互体验优化、情感化设计落地中倾注了大量心血，让冰冷的科技有了人文温度，让实用的功能兼具了美学质感。
这正是深国预一次鲜活的科创项目实践典范 。当严谨的工程思维遇见灵动的艺术灵感，当精密的代码逻辑碰撞细腻的人文关怀，才最终孕育出这样一款既有智慧内核、又有温度外在的教育产品。

破 “无人回应” 困局
24 小时留学搭子
按住就说、随时可答
“现在 AI 聊天工具这么多，为什么还要做一款留学对讲机？” 面对这个问题，方才的发布会上给出了最真诚的答案：因为学生最需要帮助的时刻，往往是 “无人回应” 的时刻 —— 深夜改文书卡在开头，留学顾问早已下班；签证中心突然要求补材料，客服只回复 “稍等”；拿到梦校 Offer 想咨询选课，又怕下班时间打扰老师…… 这些不是 “找不到信息” 的问题，而是 “找不到及时回应” 的困境，而 “小言老师”，正是为这些时刻而来。
它是 “按住就说、随时可答” 的便捷存在：不用下载 APP，不用输入密码，连上校园 Wi-Fi，按下对讲键就能提问；无论是 “文书怎么写不水”“托福听力怎么提分”，还是 “最新签证政策有哪些变化”，它都能直接给出具体方案，不空谈大道理；哪怕是赶课路上的碎片时间、熬夜备考的深夜，它都 24 小时在线，像一个懂你的朋友，既倾听焦虑，也解决问题。

精准适配才是真个性化
数据中枢对标目标校
努力可视化、方向不盲猜
真正的“个性化”，不止于“及时回应”，更在于“精准适配”。“小言老师”内置“个人留学数据中枢”，只要输入托福成绩、活动经历、目标院校等信息，它就能自动生成两份核心报告：一份是“能力雷达图”，清晰标注出需要提升的薄弱项；另一份是“学术画像”，直观对比与目标院校的差距。
从此，学生不用再“瞎忙活”，也不用在申请中“拆盲盒”。每次考试分数的提升、每段活动经历的积累，都能在数据中清晰体现，努力有了具象的“证明”，升学方向也有了明确的“导航”。而这背后，正是深国预“留学Agent”系统的支撑，它像导航仪一样，陪着学生走好留学路上的每一步。
4
不止于“回答”
能帮你“干活”的AI智能体，让效率翻倍
“小言老师”最让我们骄傲的，是它的“智能协作”能力。它不是一个只会“回答问题”的机器，而是能帮学生“完成任务”的助手。想做一份美国本科申请时间线？一句话，它能帮你列全所有关键节点；构思文书没有思路？输入个人经历，它能直接搭建三个主题框架；想冲刺托福却不知从何入手？它会根据你的当前水平自动生成学习计划。
AI不是要取代人，而是要让每个学生都能更高效地发挥潜力，把时间花在更有价值的思考与创造上。过去，这些事需要查资料、问顾问、做表格，至少要花三天时间；现在，一句话的指令，一小会儿就能完成 —— 这便是 “智能协作” 的真正意义。
03
邀您共创
“小言老师”的未来，期待与你同行
一场发布会的落幕，不是结束，而是 “小言老师” 陪伴学生成长的开始。一款好的教育产品，从来不是 “设计者自说自话”，而是与使用者共同打磨。因此，我们仍诚挚邀请感兴趣的学生加入 “深国预产品内测小组”—— 在这里，你不是被动的 “消费者”，而是主动的 “共创者”：

While the education sector is still debating the challenges of implementing PBL and how to make personalized education accessible to every student, the STEM Center at SIFC has long put it into practice: we don't just talk about innovation—we make AI a true "daily tool" that empowers student growth.
On October 24th, the launch event for the world's first AI study abroad smart hardware and my first AI agent—the "Teacher Xiao Yan" AI Study Abroad Walkie-Talkie Product Launch—successfully concluded at SIFC!
At this grand event focusing on the deep integration of AI and education, Mr. Zhang Lei, head of the SIFC STEM Center, shared with great passion for educational innovation the complete story of "Teacher Xiao Yan"—from the initial concept and technological breakthroughs to its final physical realization. Every guest, parent, teacher, and student in attendance not only witnessed the official debut of the world's first "Teacher Xiao Yan" AI Study Abroad Walkie-Talkie specifically designed for international high school students but also experienced another key milestone in SIFC's journey of exploring "future education."
This product is far from a cold piece of technology—it is a 24/7 "intelligent companion" that accompanies students around the clock, a vivid embodiment of SIFC's educational philosophy of "one student, one customized education plan," and a groundbreaking achievement in educational innovation born from the collective wisdom and dedication of teachers and students across STEM, arts, and multiple interdisciplinary fields.
01 Daring to Pioneer
SIFC's Innovation Gene Has Never Been an Accident
As an international school benchmarked against top-tier innovative high schools on the U.S. East Coast, SIFC has always embedded "AI empowerment" and "interdisciplinary integration" into the core of its education. We have established dedicated STEM Center and Art & Design Center, leveraging globally certified MIT FabLab resources to incubate dozens of student entrepreneurship projects such as "shock-resistant headphones" and "smart emotion wristbands." Furthermore, we have set up a special "Entrepreneurship Support Award" to provide financial backing, helping students turn their ideas into reality.
Through our AI School, students gain access to a 24/7 online learning partner tailored to their individual pace. Today, the "Teacher Xiao Yan" AI Study Abroad Walkie-Talkie stands as another tangible achievement of our deep commitment to innovative education—it extends "personalization" from the classroom to every scenario of studying abroad, transforming AI-powered education from a concept into a palpable daily experience.
This commitment has enabled SIFC to achieve a series of remarkable "industry-first" accomplishments, successfully paving the way as a "Super Innovative High School":
The first international high school in Guangdong Province to receive MIT certification and join the global FabLab network;
The first international high school in China to independently develop a generative AI product (AI Study Abroad Circle);
The first international high school globally to introduce the Fab City Challenge and issue metaverse digital collectibles;
The first international school to establish an AI School, providing students with 24/7 online learning opportunities;
The only school awarded the "Forbes China Annual Innovative International School Award"...
And now, we are making history once again—becoming the world's first international school to develop an AI agent hardware specifically for the study abroad sector! Every "first" represents our steadfast commitment to "future-oriented education"; every "first" stems from our relentless pursuit of "small, refined, and personalized" excellence; every "first" embodies SIFC's educational creed: "Educate every student as if they were the only one."
We have always believed that the essence of education is "shaping individuals"—transforming biologically existing humans into social beings capable of independent thinking, problem-solving, and embracing a fulfilling life. And AI is precisely the tool that makes this "shaping" more precise, more compassionate, and more tailored.
02 Why "Teacher Xiao Yan"
AI-Powered Personalized Education Makes Every Student Unique
"Rather than creating a cold piece of technology, we aimed to develop a 'companion' that can walk alongside students throughout their study abroad journey." This statement by Mr. Zhang Lei during the product launch encapsulates the core design philosophy behind the "Teacher Xiao Yan" AI Study Abroad Walkie-Talkie. Over the past year, he has led a team of teachers and students in research and development, ensuring that every step—from conceptualization to implementation—revolved around the principle that "education requires dialogue." Education has never been a one-way transmission of information but rather a process of mutual understanding and resonance between people. Now, this resonance can also exist between humans and AI.
The advent of the AI era is redefining the boundaries of human capabilities, yet the core of education remains unchanged. For the first time, the ideal of "education for all without discrimination" has the potential to be realized through technology. As AI becomes capable of truly understanding student needs, addressing learning challenges, and even empathizing with growth anxieties, we move closer to the goal of "providing every student with a personalized education plan." The creation of the "Teacher Xiao Yan" AI Study Abroad Walkie-Talkie is the embodiment of this vision: it is not merely a "question-answering machine" but an "intelligent companion" that perceives students' rhythms and adapts to their evolving needs, making AI-powered personalized education a tangible part of every student's study abroad journey.
1. Breaking the Stereotype of Walkie-Talkies: Winning the MUSE Gold Award with Human-Centric Design
When people think of "walkie-talkies," they often envision bulky, noisy devices from construction sites. But the "Teacher Xiao Yan" AI Study Abroad Walkie-Talkie completely shatters this stereotype. It retains the core advantage of "real-time communication" while incorporating deeply human-centered design: the body features an ergonomic curve tailored for adolescents' hand size, significantly improving grip comfort; the innovative breathing light interaction design not only provides intuitive visual feedback but was praised by MUSE Design Awards judges as "exceptionally thoughtful companionship for growth." Its compact size allows it to easily slip into a uniform pocket, making it portable even when rushing between classes. The push-to-talk button is perfectly positioned where the thumb naturally rests, enabling precise activation even with eyes closed—whether during note-taking, with sweaty hands, or when there's no time to look at the screen. "No learning needed, no mental effort, intuitive from the first use"—this is the technological companionship students truly need.
This meticulously crafted design has also earned international acclaim—at the 2025 MUSE Design Awards, the "Teacher Xiao Yan" AI Study Abroad Walkie-Talkie won the highest honor in the product design student category: the Gold Award, making it the only intelligent walkie-talkie product recognized in this year's competition! Established by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) and the International Awards Association (IAA), the MUSE Design Awards are considered the "Oscars of the creative world" due to their rigorous judging standards. This significant recognition not only affirms the product's design aesthetics and user experience but also powerfully validates SIFC's educational philosophy of "integrating technology with humanistic values."
The creation of the "Teacher Xiao Yan" AI Study Abroad Walkie-Talkie was never a solo performance of a single discipline—it originated from a deep, collaborative effort where teachers and students joined forces across interdisciplinary fields! On one hand, it was solidly supported by the robust capabilities of SIFC STEM Center: the team took the lead in overcoming a series of core technical challenges, including hardware functionality implementation, precise adaptation of AI algorithms, and deep integration of study abroad scenario data, laying a solid technological foundation for the product. On the other hand, it was gently empowered by SIFC Art & Design Center: teachers guided students in pouring immense effort into refining the product form, optimizing interactive experiences, and implementing emotional design, infusing cold technology with human warmth and blending practical functionality with aesthetic sensibility.
This stands as a vivid exemplar of SIFC's approach to science and innovation project practice. It was precisely when rigorous engineering thinking met dynamic artistic inspiration, when precise code logic collided with nuanced humanistic care, that an educational product with both an intelligent core and a warm exterior was ultimately born.
2. Breaking the "No Response" Dilemma: A 24/7 Study Abroad Buddy — Press to Talk, Always Ready to Answer
"There are so many AI chat tools available now, why create a study abroad walkie-talkie?" The most sincere answer to this question was given at the product launch: because students often need help the most precisely during moments when "there's no one to respond"—being stuck on rewriting an essay late at night when their counselor is off duty, being suddenly asked to submit additional documents by the visa center while the customer service only replies with "please wait," or hesitating to consult a teacher about course selection after receiving a dream offer for fear of disturbing them after hours... These are not issues of "not being able to find information," but dilemmas of "not being able to get a timely response." And the "Teacher Xiao Yan" AI Study Abroad Walkie-Talkie was created precisely for these moments.
It is the ultimate convenience of "press to talk, get instant answers": no app to download, no passwords to enter—just connect to campus Wi-Fi, press the talk button, and ask your question. Whether it's "how to make my essay stand out," "how to improve my TOEFL listening score," or "what are the latest visa policy changes," it provides concrete solutions instead of empty theories. Even during fragmented moments between classes or during late-night study sessions, it remains available 24/7—like a friend who understands you, ready to listen to your anxieties and solve your problems.
3. True Personalization Means Precise Alignment: Data Hub Tailored to Target Schools, Making Efforts Visible and Directions Data-Driven
True "personalization" goes beyond "timely responses" to achieve "precise alignment." Equipped with a built-in "Personal Study Abroad Data Hub," simply input information such as TOEFL scores, extracurricular activities, and target universities, and the "Teacher Xiao Yan" AI Study Abroad Walkie-Talkie automatically generates two core reports: one is a "Capability Radar Chart," which clearly highlights areas needing improvement, and the other is an "Academic Profile," providing a visual comparison of how you measure up against your target institutions.
From then on, students no longer need to "work blindly" or face the "lottery" of applications. Every improvement in test scores and every accumulation of activity experience is clearly reflected in the data—effort gains tangible "proof," and academic advancement direction gains a clear "navigation system." Behind this lies the support of SIFC's independently developed "Study Abroad Agent" system, which functions like a professional navigator, accompanying students step-by-step throughout their study abroad journey.
4. Beyond "Answering": An AI Agent That Gets Things Done, Doubling Your Efficiency
The most impressive aspect of the "Teacher Xiao Yan" AI Study Abroad Walkie-Talkie is its intelligent collaboration capability—it's not just a machine that "answers questions," but an assistant that helps students "get things done." Need a timeline for U.S. undergraduate applications? With a single voice command, it can list all key milestones for you. Struggling to brainstorm ideas for your application essay? Input your personal experiences, and it will directly outline three thematic frameworks for you. Want to boost your TOEFL score but don't know where to start? It will automatically generate a personalized study plan based on your current level.
AI was never meant to replace humans, but to enable every student to unleash their potential more efficiently, freeing up time for more valuable thinking and creation. In the past, completing such tasks required searching for information, consulting advisors, and creating spreadsheets—a process that took at least three days. Now, with a single voice command, it can be accomplished in just a little while—this is the true meaning of "intelligent collaboration."
