At Yangang Primary School in Yantian District, students are leaping and stretching in front of futuristic “magic mirrors” every day. These high-tech devices, officially known as AI-powered digital sports machines, are revolutionizing physical education. Under their teachers’ guidance, students follow along with music to warm up, practice exercises like “kneeling jumps,” and engage in dynamic, interactive workouts.
As digital transformation sweeps through education, AI is making a big splash, especially in PE classes. It’s tackling long-standing challenges in traditional teaching methods and reshaping how sports are taught and experienced.
Yantian District is leading the charge, combining education and technology to drive high-quality learning experiences. The introduction of AI sports systems has been a game-changer, easing teacher shortages and personalizing lessons for every student.
These smart machines act as tireless “sports assistants,” ensuring PE classes run smoothly even with limited staff. They analyze data like fitness levels, endurance, and speed to create tailored training plans, giving students the individualized attention they need. For example, in track and field, AI develops custom programs for each child, essentially functioning as a virtual personal coach.
The result? Students aren’t just building their athletic skills — they’re falling in love with sports. By making workouts fun, interactive, and uniquely suited to each child, Yantian’s schools are helping kids grow stronger, healthier, and more passionate about staying active.
