May 9 — New Literacy for the AI Era: Vinci Innovation Lab Official Opening

The first AI + Engineering innovation platform in the Greater Boston area designed specifically for students ages 8–18, Vinci Innovation Lab, will officially open on May 9.

📍 Location: 1121 Washington St #3, Newton

📅 Date: May 9, 2026 (Saturday) | 2PM–4PM

【AI Experience Section】

👉 Redefining How Kids Learn in the AI Era

Many people think learning AI simply means learning how to code. But the real key lies in three things:

🌟 Understanding how AI makes decisions (not just how to use it)

🌟 Building AI system thinking through real project-based learning (PBL)

🌟 Developing the ability to judge AI boundaries and ethics

At the event, we will showcase a special “New Literacy Board” that clearly presents MIT’s definition of essential learning abilities in the AI era—helping students move from being users of AI to creators of AI.

👉 Hands-On Access to Real Technology: International Certifications + Industry-Level Tools

We’ve prepared three major technology experience zones where students can see, explore, and personally operate real-world engineering projects:

🔹 CMU Intelligent Robotics Micro-Certification Zone

🔘 Introduction to Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute’s official micro-certification system (Mechanical Foundations, Software Foundations, and System Integration)

🔘 Live hands-on demo: autonomous driving algorithm demonstration based on the NVIDIA Jetson platform, with the opportunity to experience how SMART micro-certification works

🔘 Why it matters: A globally recognized industry credential and a strong advantage for applications to top STEM universities

🔹 Autodesk Industrial Design Career Pathway

🔘 Showcase of Autodesk Tinkercad Pathway certified projects

🔘 Why it matters: Professional industry-recognized credentials using the same design tools adopted by companies like Tesla and Boeing—valuable assets for top engineering school applications

🔹 Vinci Robotics Advanced Project Showcase

🔘 Live demonstrations of three major AI pathways: robotic arms, humanoid robots, and autonomous driving systems

【Impact + Learning Section】

👉 iSTEAM Initiative & Honors

Vinci Studio runs the “iSTEAM Scholar” program, empowering students to use AI to create solutions with real social impact.

Some students have developed AI-powered apps to help prevent elderly individuals from getting lost. Others have built community waste-sorting systems using computer vision and image recognition.

More importantly, these projects can be submitted for two official recognitions:

🏅 The Congressional Award

🏅 Presidential AI Award

Students are not only building meaningful projects—they are also earning recognized credentials that strengthen their academic profiles.

👉 Vinci Incubator: From Learners to Builders

If students already have their own ideas, Vinci Studio’s internal incubator provides support to turn them into real products:

🔘 MVP development guidance: building the first functional version in the shortest time

🔘 Funding support for prototype development

🔘 Patent application and intellectual property protection guidance

It’s not just about “finishing a course”—it’s about building something real and usable.
