Our AI Learning Journey is Nearing a Fantastic Finish! 🚀

As we enter the final week of our "Introduction to GenAI and Vibe Coding" course, it has been an absolute joy to watch our students grow. From learning the basics of AI tools to building their very own web applications!

Charleston Chinese Academy is incredibly proud to have partnered with the Research Triangle AI Society (RTAI) to bring this cutting-edge experience to our students. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to our instructor, Dr. Mohamed Abdelnaby from Virginia Tech. Thank you for not only sharing your profound expertise in AI but for also using your professionalism and patience to ignite a passion for technological creation in every single student.

Although our course is coming to a close, the students' journey into the world of technology has only just begun. We look forward to seeing everyone’s amazing final projects during our graduation showcase!

The 1st Four-City Chinese Pickleball Friendship Tournament has successfully come to an end! 🏓🎉

We are so happy that the Charleston team had the opportunity to connect, compete, and build friendships with players from Columbia、Myrtle Beach and Wilmington through the love of pickleball.

A special congratulations to our players Jerry and Lance for winning Second Place! 👏👏
Their dedication, perseverance, and fighting spirit on the court truly made us proud!

At the same time, we would like to sincerely thank all Charleston team members, volunteers, staff, and everyone who quietly supported this event behind the scenes. No matter the final results, the willingness to participate, practice together, and cheer for one another is what truly matters most.

We also deeply appreciate the joint efforts and organization from all four Chinese community associations, which made this cross-city friendship tournament such a warm, joyful, and successful event.

The tournament may be over, but the friendships are just beginning. ❤️

Although today’s Dragon Boat race was met with heavy rain and our performances had to be canceled, the most touching part was that everyone still showed up, rain or shine. 🚣‍♂️ Watching our team paddle with determination in the rain, and seeing everyone chatting and laughing together under the tents, I truly felt that what makes a community special isn’t the weather—it’s that we are always there for each other.

Thank you to every team member who came despite the rain—you are the most beautiful part of our community!
