Projects
Develop a Humanoid Robot (EduSphere/Sophia) to Enhance Teaching and Learning in K–12 classrooms
This cutting-edge three-year project aims to design an AI-powered humanoid robot to enhance teaching and learning in Primary 5–6 Science education. The proposed robot, tentatively named EduSphere (Sophia), will support personalised instruction and bilingual interaction through voice, gesture, touchscreen, and embodied movement. It will assess students' learning status via emotional recognition and facilitate gamified learning. This innovative development project aligns with the university's strategic plan for 2025-2031. The project will deliver a classroom-safe robotic prototype with bilingual, multimodal, and affect-aware interaction, alongside an adaptive learning and analytics framework supporting teacher-guided learning activities, thereby strengthening EdUHK’s position as a leading contributor to AI-driven educational innovation in China and beyond.

MuseAI: Transforming K-12 Science Education with AI-Driven Innovations
This research explores how combining neuroscience, innovative learning strategies, and behavioral evaluation in AI-infused science education can transform teaching and learning, especially for students of regions with limited educational resources. Project team will use principles from cognitive neuroscience to design MuseAI and its curriculum, aiming to adapt to the unique cognitive profiles of students and optimize their learning processes. This project aims to greatly enhance the teaching and research of science education by fostering deeper understanding, critical thinking, and sustained motivation among K-12 students, preparing them for a future shaped by scientific and technological advancements.Expected Outputs / Achieved Outputs:
1) the development of an advanced AI tool (MuseAI) that may lead to patents,
2) the dissemination of findings through teacher workshops and publication in peer-reviewed journals, and
3) the establishment of best practices for integrating AI in educational contexts.

Developing and Evaluating MuseAIWrite: An AI-Assisted Platform to Support English Creative Writing for Senior Primary Students
This proposal is aimed to develop and evaluate an AI-driven platform, MuseAIWrite, designed to enhance self-regulated English creative writing among senior primary school students. The ultimate goal of the proposal is to integrate MuseAIWrite into the primary classrooms to aid teachers to guide students smartly harness AI for self-regulated learning (SRL). Furthermore, the platform is designed to empower students to take charge of their own creative and effective learning processes.

Design and Implementation of AI Curriculum from the Perspective of CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate)
This three-year project will apply the (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate) CDIO model (Crawley et al., 2007) (refer to Figure 1) to develop AI courses for primary school students in three representative regions of China. The primary objectives are to: 1) construct a design framework for AI courses in primary schools from the perspective of CDIO; 2) Identify relevant tools and resources for teaching AI courses, such as state-of-art AI and conduct teaching training for developing teachers’ AI literacy. 3) Evaluate the implementation of AI courses in selected schools from the perspective of student learning and teacher AI literacy.
