- 岛上音乐晚会:有学生演出、也有音乐家即兴演奏;
- 篝火烧烤活动:导师、学生一起在岛上围着火堆聊天,回顾这一周的收获。
Day 7:离岛 · 带着问题回家
- 上午进行简单的总结仪式与合影;
- 发放结业证书与导师寄语卡片;
- 学生按批次离岛返程,带着尚未解决的问题继续思考。
二、第二周:30 名高水平学生的精英研究周
第二周从参与第一周的学生中,选拔约 30 名在数学思维、创造力或潜力方面表现突出的学生, 进入更高强度与更小班的学习环境。
1. 授课与交流形式
- 大师小班课:由丘成桐先生与其他数学大师、菲尔兹奖得主轮流授课, 讲解他们真正关心的数学问题,以及如何从高中阶段一步步走近这些问题。
- 问题工作坊:学生被鼓励带来自己在课本或竞赛中遇到的「未解决问题」, 与导师一起思考其背后的更大图景。
- 音乐大师课堂:音乐大师分享自己如何通过音乐理解结构、节奏与情感, 并与数学大师一起讨论「形式与美感」的共同点。
2. 晚上:与院士共进晚宴
- 精英营期间,会安排若干次小规模特别晚宴,由院士和大师分桌与学生共进晚餐;
- 学生可以在轻松环境中提问:如何选择大学、如何在迷茫期坚持、科研生活是什么样子;
- 晚宴不录制、不直播,鼓励真诚对话与长期关系建立。
3. 精英营结束
第二周结尾,学生将与导师共同梳理各自未来 3–5 年的学习计划, 有些学生可能得到长期跟进的建议甚至研究方向上的引导。
· 精英营资格不单独报名,从第一周优秀营中产生;
· 评估将综合课堂表现、问题意识、小组合作与导师推荐;
· 被选中的 30 名学生将获得第二周继续留岛的邀请。

Two-week Learning Path on Changqin Island
The program is divided into two cohorts and two weeks: Week 1 for about 300 outstanding students, and Week 2 for a 30-student elite group taught directly by Professor Shing-Tung Yau and other masters in mathematics and music.
1. Week 1: Thematic Week for 300 Outstanding Students
Week 1 is designed for students who perform well at school and are curious about mathematics and cross-disciplinary topics. Each day has a clear theme.
Day 1: Opening · Professor Yau’s Life in Mathematics + Film “Life is Beautiful”
- Morning: Opening ceremony, safety briefing and introduction to the island and teaching team.
- Afternoon: Keynote by Professor Shing-Tung Yau on his personal journey, mathematical research process and advice for young people.
- Evening: Screening of “Life is Beautiful”, followed by a short discussion: how to keep dignity and humor in hardship, and what this means for choosing a path in life and mathematics.
Day 2: Mathematics & Programming · Using AI to Write Math Programs
- Introduction to basic ideas in programming and algorithmic thinking;
- Demonstration of how AI can assist in writing small math-related programs (number theory experiments, geometric visualizations, etc.);
- Students work in groups to design and debug a simple math program, with difficulty adjusted by grade level.
Day 3: Mathematics & Music · From Harmony to Structure
- Joint session by musicians and math teachers: rhythm, harmony, counterpoint and their links to mathematical patterns;
- Live musical demonstrations and “listening experiments” to feel how different structures change our perception;
- Students try to generate melodies using simple mathematical rules or write a “math description” for a piece of music.
Day 4: Mathematics & Finance · Risk, Return and Uncertainty
- Explaining interest, compound interest and basic probability in a student-friendly way;
- Simple simulation games to experience “expected return vs. risk”;
- Discussion of why rigorous mathematics is needed in finance and what mathematical finance roughly studies.
Day 5: Mathematics, Quantum Computing & Space
- Intuitive introduction to quantum bits, superposition and basic ideas of quantum algorithms;
- Overview of how mathematics underlies spaceflight, orbits and control;
- Use of simplified models and visual tools to show how mathematics helps spacecraft reach the right destination.
Day 6: Closing Presentations · Coding Showcase, Music Evening & Bonfire BBQ
- Group presentations of math coding projects or cross-disciplinary mini-projects;
- Island music evening: student performances and improvisations by musicians;
- Bonfire BBQ: students and mentors share stories around the fire, reflecting on what they have gained during the week.
Day 7: Departure · Leaving with New Questions
- Short closing ceremony and group photos;
- Certificates and personal message cards from mentors;
- Students depart in groups, carrying home questions they now want to think about for a long time.
2. Week 2: Elite Research Week for 30 High-level Students
In Week 2, about 30 students are selected from the Week-1 cohort based on mathematical thinking, creativity and potential, and continue on the island in a more intensive, small-group setting.
1. Teaching & Interaction
- Master Classes: Professor Yau and other leading mathematicians and Fields Medalists give small-group lectures on questions they truly care about, and how one gradually approaches them from the high-school level.
- Problem Workshops: Students are encouraged to bring unresolved problems from textbooks or contests and discuss the larger picture behind them.
- Music Master Sessions: Renowned musicians explain how they understand structure, rhythm and emotion through music, in dialogue with mathematicians on form and beauty.
2. Evenings: Special Dinners with Professors
- Several special dinners are arranged, with professors and masters sitting at small tables with students;
- Students can ask about choosing universities, dealing with confusion, and what everyday research life looks like;
- Dinners are off-record and not streamed, to encourage honest and personal conversations.
3. Closing the Elite Week
At the end of Week 2, each student works with mentors to outline a personal 3–5 year learning plan. Some students may receive long-term guidance or suggestions on future research directions.
· No separate application; selection is from Week-1 participants only;
· Evaluation considers in-class performance, problem awareness, teamwork and mentor recommendations;
· Selected students will be invited to stay for Week 2 on the island.
