Wuxi Heming Kindergarten provides smart robots to communicate and play with children. A smart disinfection system is installed on the top of each classroom in the kindergarten that has been programmed to automatically disinfect the classroom at 2 am every day as part of the school's COVID-19 prevention and control efforts.
The Lihu Primary School of the Binhu Experimental School of Nanjing Normal University has applied many technologies in its special classrooms. Each desk in the calligraphy classroom is embedded with a screen, allowing students to copy models of calligraphy freely and better learn from teachers' writing skills.
The Lihu Primary School also provides folding beds for students, which look like common lockers inside classrooms. The length of these beds for the lower, middle, and upper grades is 1.6 meters, 1.8 meters, as well as 1.9 meters respectively to match students' growth.
