Han Ximin, Wei Jie 1824295095@qq.com THE “HiShenGenzers Nanshan Tour” kicked off Friday at Shenzhen InnoX, as Z10 Club students from six countries — Indonesia, Russia, Thailand, Azerbaijan, Egypt, and Ghana — gathered for a journey into cutting-edge technology. The Nanshan tour was the first leg of Z10 Club’s tour series. The event, organized by EyeShenzhen and the Publicity Department of the Nanshan CPC Committee, attracted over 20 international students from five universities, including Shenzhen University, Southern University of Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen), Shenzhen Polytechnic University, and Shenzhen MSU-BIT University. It was supported by the Nanshan Integrated Media Center. After a brief ceremony at Shenzhen InnoX, the Z10 members embarked on their sci-tech exploration. They reviewed three years of innovation achievements made at Shenzhen InnoX and tried out smart portable health gadgets and massage rollers. “This product is excellent — I love it! It effectively relieves lower back pain, and I’ll definitely recommend it to my friends,” said Maria Korepanova, a Russian student from the Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen), after trying a smart waist-support device. According to Shenzhen InnoX, its over 450 entrepreneurs have developed over 65 projects, including 16 angel-round startups, 30 exploratory teams, and 22 pre-exploration teams, spanning fields like sports tech, smart homes, health tech, pet tech, and logistics. At the “Model Camp” AI ecosystem community, participants tried Time Kettle AI translation earbuds. “I’ve long heard about Shenzhen’s tech prowess, and experiencing it firsthand today is thrilling. AI makes life smarter and more efficient — like that interior design app, which saves time and money,” said Le Duong Huy, a Vietnamese student majoring in international trade at Shenzhen University. Aysel Hajiyeva, an Azerbaijani student at Shenzhen Polytechnic University, tried a fashion design app. “It’s so intuitive. Even as a non-expert, I could create designs effortlessly,” she remarked. Launched in June 2024, “Model Camp” is the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area’s first AI-focused incubator, combining hardware, software, and scenario-driven innovation with AI development. In the afternoon, the participants tried the π-series hiking exoskeleton and the Q20 lumbar-support robot by Kenqing Technology. Integrating ergonomics, motion-sensing AI, and dynamic assistance, the exoskeleton reduces leg strain and enhances cardio workouts. Meanwhile, the Q20 — the world’s lightest active lumbar exoskeleton — offers 20 kilograms of load support with ergonomic comfort, aiding both industrial workers and elderly caregivers since its early 2025 debut. “This exoskeleton is amazing! It helps seniors and people with knee or back pain. Even for healthy hikers, it protects joints during climbs,” said Shawkat Abouelnour, an Egyptian student at Shenzhen Polytechnic University. The day concluded with an immersive exhibition at AMONG Dreamscapes, curated by COOBBY Digital Art Platform. Featuring over 20 cross-disciplinary works by 19 artists, the showcase blended spatial installations, new media art, and mixed reality (MR) to explore the nexus of consciousness and society. “We had a blast! Wearing VR goggles to interact with invisible objects — this fusion of tech and art is mind-blowing,” shared an international student from Shenzhen University. Launched earlier this month, the Z10 Club — initiated by EyeShenzhen and 10 local universities — will organize monthly themed tours to innovation hubs and cultural landmarks across Shenzhen. |
