[STEAM × Chinese Culture]

Primary School Chinese Herbal Medicine Control Experiment and AI Technology Experience Course

Bringing traditional Chinese wisdom into the modern AI technology classroom

Cardy Tech is committed to providing top-quality interdisciplinary STEAM education programmes for primary and secondary schools across Hong Kong. Our "Chinese Herbal Medicine Control Experiment × AI Experience" course breaks out of the one-way teaching model of the traditional classroom. Through hands-on learning, students compare hydroponics with traditional soil planting for themselves and use an AI platform for data collection and model training, experiencing the deep combination of technology and Chinese culture.

Four Key Learning Highlights

Hydroponic and soil planting setups
01

Scientific Inquiry and Control Experiments

Students transplant Chinese herbal seedlings (such as mint) themselves, set up hydroponic and soil planting equipment in groups, and use sensors to record data and observe growth changes.

Students training an AI to recognise herbs
02

AI Image Recognition in Practice

Using a self-developed or partner AI platform, students photograph and train their own AI model, experiencing for themselves how an "AI herbal dispenser" recognises herbal tea ingredients sold on the market.

Herbal sachets and tea-tasting experience
03

Chinese Culture and Traditional Experiences

Drawing on stories such as "Shennong Tasting a Hundred Herbs" and the idea of the Five Elements, students make herbal sachets, enjoy a tea-tasting experience and blend herbal tea packs, learning about the wisdom of herbal wellness.

Data Analysis and Presenting Results

Experiment data is turned into bar charts and line charts, building mathematics and data visualisation skills. Finally, poster-making and group presentations strengthen communication and teamwork skills.
