Xiang Jin is the first person to popularize robot education in Shaanxi. He has worked hard in this direction for more than ten years, from a robot maker to a maker who is committed to cultivating young people's innovative dreams. At the end of 20 13, he and four like-minded maker friends initiated the establishment of "fingertip new space".
Fingertip New Space is an open place for members, with free hardware equipment and free innovative resources. This platform is an interdisciplinary, cross-disciplinary and cross-era innovation complex. The "finger" in the new fingertip space means "hands-on, action", and "tip" means extreme and top-level. It is a technology paradise for those creative and action-oriented makers. Let those creative talents stimulate everyone's innovative potential and source power through personal experience, hands-on production and "ideas to be realized" lifestyle! The new fingertip space is not like an ordinary classroom. Frequent visitors here include children as young as 4 years old, college students and many working adults. Some foreign friends often come here to play. Fingertip New Space has been successively recognized as Xi 'an Zhongchuang Space, Xi 'an Entrepreneurship Service Platform, Xi 'an College Student Entrepreneurship Training Base, Shaanxi Zhongchuang Space Demonstration Base and National Zhongchuang Space recognized by the state.
After being a maker for more than ten years, Jin personally designed and produced countless creative products, from GPS positioning watches and dancing robots to space Olympic Games simulators. 10 years, he took a "children's group" of 400 or 500 students to Australia, Germany, the United States and other countries 10 years, and won the "World Cup Award" for young robots for many times. After going to so many cities, he thought it would be better to start a business in Xi 'an.
Xiang Jin said, "We should establish an open environment that is free to teach and learn regardless of age, discipline and occupation, guide more teenagers and adults who love scientific and technological innovation to turn their ideas into reality in play, and drive more people to participate in the ranks of' makers', thus forming an innovative atmosphere." "We only have one standard, children can play, that is to say, they can. After system testing, our platform can also be done by 5-year-old children. Although we are very young, we still have a little dream, that is, I hope that one day, fingertips can reduce people's technology of using robots to start businesses. "
In Xiang Jin's educational philosophy, maker culture is not for utilitarian innovation and practice, but for making students feel the value of innovation and sharing by technical means. He is doing something that will affect the future of China.
