✺Humanity's Message to the Stars
In this lecture, we will delve deeply into the "Humanity’s Message to the Stars (HMST)" initiative, a program designed to collect the collective achievements and aspirations of humanity, creating a vessel of information that may one day be discovered by future alien civilizations, while also serving as an eternal monument for the descendants of Earth. The discussion will span multiple disciplinary fields to explore the strategies necessary to achieve this lofty goal, with a special emphasis on significant advancements in technology and computation since the Voyager missions. While this concept aligns with the theoretical framework of future interstellar missions, its realization relies on broad collaboration, especially the active participation of the scientific community. The purpose of this workshop is to spark in-depth discussions about the conception, objectives, and potential contents of HMTS. We encourage students and experts from various scientific and innovative fields to share their insights and contributions. We look forward to participants not only engaging in the discussion but also proposing innovative ideas and solutions. Our collective goal is to do more than just send a message; we aim to weave the rich story of humanity into the vast tapestry of the universe, allowing our voice to traverse the cosmic seas. Through this workshop, we invite everyone to think and build together, leaving a profound mark of humanity in the cosmos. Let us join hands in cooperation to shape the future.
✺Achieve Success in U.S. College Admission
Navigating the path to success in top American universities presents a universal challenge for both Chinese international students and local students, as well as their parents. This lecture delves into the differences between educational systems and the criteria for talent selection across cultural backgrounds, guiding students on how to showcase their unique strengths during the application process. By enhancing both IQ and EQ, students will learn to effectively tackle the challenges of applying, laying a solid foundation for career success. Drawing on over 30 years of international education and academic experience, Dr. Jiang shares with students and parents how to employ effective strategies for planning their educational and career paths. The aim is to help students stand out in the competitive arena of higher education opportunities, while ensuring they are thoroughly prepared to achieve their career goals.
✺Prospect of Becoming Type Ⅰ Civilization and Beyond
We’re currently considered a sub-global civilization, technically Type 0.7, but on our way to Type 1. We’re in the process of finding a large source of sustainable energy, though we still depend on crude, organic sources of fuel, including wood, coal and oil. We are confined to our home planet and struggle with ecological issues, such as pandemic, wars, natural disasters and climate change. But remember where human civilization’s technological achievements were in 1000 A.D? What would a person living in that time think of the world in which we live today? One thing we know for sure, technological breakthroughs that at one time took a century to achieve, now can happen in a year. It remains true that some technologies are harder to crack, like developing fusion energy. But today we are much closer to achieving that fusion breakthrough that alone will move us faster to becoming a Type 1 civilization. And after that will the rest unfold?

✺Viewing the Earth from Space
Looking at the earth from space, what does the earth look like? Sometimes, you need a new perspective to see things in a different way. With satellite images from space, science and art can be combined to show the magnificence, beauty and wonders of our planet. Remote sensing data from earth satellites are being widely used to solve important global issues such as weather forecasting, predicting climate change, as well as monitoring and tracking disaster outbreaks. This STEAM seminar will introduce the basic principles of Earth observation from space, and application examples of space Earth observation in science and society.
✺Tales of Space and Time
The concept of space and time is an essential component of the whole world. With the development of natural science, especially physics, the study of space-time is also growing. In this STEM seminar, Dr. Jonathan Jiang will introduce you to the most advanced scientific concepts of space and time.
✺Kiss under the Stars
Human sexuality presumes that we are part of a whole Universe. Erotic attracts not only on the level of the individual but the universe itself is erotic, in every star, cell, flower, bird, and human body. Love is more than a survival mechanism; it is the fire breathed into the fabric of the cosmos that enkindles life, rendering life more than biological function. Consciousness of love, awareness of our desires and attention to our deepest longings that orient us toward a thread of passionate energy that winds around the embrace of persons and enters into the heart of the cosmos, within every flower, plant, star and galaxy...
✺Weather and Climate
What is weather? How weather is forecasted? What will happen tomorrow? Is it cloudy or sunny? Is it raining or snowing? Is it cold or warm? Is the climate the average weather for many years? What is the impact of climate change in the future? This seminar will help deepen your understanding of weather and climate and enhance your scientific vision of cosmos.
