At the entrance of the Maker Dream Workshop of Shenzhen Yantian Senior High School, a sign of "Yuan Haotai Optoelectronic Learning Room" is particularly eye-catching. This study room, which was personally unveiled by Lu Ningning, Secretary of the Party Committee of the school, has become an exclusive space for Yuan Haotai, a senior high school student, to carry out scientific exploration.

"We first opened up a special learning area for Yuan Haotai in the school's Maker Dream Workshop, and then we will set up a separate studio later." Yuan Haotai's study room is located not far from the entrance of the Maker Dream Workshop, and the workbench is equipped with computers, laser cutting machines, 3D printers, electronic parts and other common equipment in the optoelectronic laboratory. "We hope to follow Yuan Haotai's example and drive more students to love science and pursue knowledge." Lu Ningning, Secretary of the Party Committee of Yantian Senior High School, said.

袁浩泰的光电学习兴趣是从小建立的。“小时候家中坏掉的灯泡引发了我的好奇，爸爸还经常带着我去华强北购买一些电子零件进行组装调试。”袁浩泰的父亲本科毕业于北方交通大学（现北京交通大学），并在2023年以46岁的年纪考上了中南大学的研究生。在家人的引导和影响下，袁浩泰在初中便荣获了2021年全国中小学信息技术创新与实践大赛（NOC大赛）的最高奖项——恩欧希教育信息化发明创新奖。2024年入读盐田高级中学后，他的三项作品在区科技节获得一等奖，并入选全国基础教育大会展示。

"I'm proud to have a photoelectric learning room in my name at the school. I used to study and ponder by myself, but I met more like-minded friends here, and I can also communicate with professional teachers for advice. In order to provide students with better resources and platforms, YANTIAN has also established contacts with universities and enterprises such as Shenzhen University and BGI, led students into university laboratories, and invited university professors to provide online and offline guidance to Yuan Haotai and other students. Yuan Haotai has recently applied for two patents: a laser obstacle remover and a robot arm, which have been accepted by the State Intellectual Property Office.

"The optoelectronic learning room is not only the establishment of a physical space, but also an innovative exploration of the future training model of scientific and technological talents. We strive to build a comprehensive platform for learning, practice and innovation for Yuan Haotai and all students who are interested in the field of optoelectronics. In Lu Jingjing's view, middle school is an important stage for the country to cultivate scientific and technological innovation talents, and the interests and loves formed by students in high school often continue to their university studies. We hope to create a good scientific and technological innovation atmosphere that encourages innovation and tolerates failure, realizes the personalized training of students, and allows each student to find their own hobbies and specialties. ”

It is understood that Yantian Senior High School is one of the first batch of science characteristic high schools in Shenzhen's high-quality education development plan, and the school takes life science characteristic education as a breakthrough in the reform of education methods, and realizes the two-way empowerment of scientific and technological characteristics and artistic characteristics. In recent years, the school has actively developed science courses, and has opened more than 20 dream courses through independent development, off-campus introduction, school-enterprise cooperation, etc. Among them, there are nearly 0 maker and science clubs rich in scientific and technological innovation education elements.
