Why should we take this course?
✘ Traditional History Classes: Looking at textbook pictures and memorizing dates rarely creates a sense of connection. ✔ EdCoSys Model: Interdisciplinary Application: Combining historical research (History) with AI generation technology (Tech). Content Creators: Students use Skybox AI to generate 360-degree scenes and TTS (Text-to-Speech) to create guided audio, transforming from consumers into creators. Immersive Experience: Wearing VR glasses, students can virtually step into their own created Malacca Port or Nanjing Longjiang Shipyard.
Tech Stack
• VR Platform: CoSpaces Edu • AI Mapping: Skybox AI (Generates 360° Panoramic Views) • AI Voice: TTSMaker (Text-to-Speech) • Programming: CoBlocks (Graphical Vibe Coding)
An 8-lesson learning journey
1
AI Analyst Onboarding
The groups selected stops for the voyages to the Western Ocean and collected information on the local customs and traditions of the 15th century.
2
AI Scene Generation
Learn Prompt Engineering and use Skybox AI to generate 360-degree panoramic images of ancient ports.
3
Treasure Ship Reappears
Import a treasure ship model into VR and use CoBlocks to write the ship's dynamic path into the port.
4
AI History Guide
Write the speech and use AI to generate audio narration in the voices of "Zheng He" or "local businessmen".
5
Interactive cultural relics

Trade simulation
Create a Streamlit Web App, input a stock symbol, and AI will automatically assess its risk level.
7
Immersive experience
Add background sound effects (ocean waves, market sounds), and adjust VR viewpoint comfort.
8
Historical Metaverse Exhibition
Final Result: Demonstration of a self-developed financial analysis app and data reports.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Schools
The school's computer lab is only adequately equipped; is it capable of running these AI courses?
Sure! Our A, C, and D series courses primarily use cloud-based tools (such as Replit and CoSpaces), which can run smoothly on any computer (Win/Mac) or iPad with internet access. For the B series (lunar rover), we provide the necessary hardware.
Will students with no programming background fall behind?
No. EdCoSys uses the latest Vibe Coding teaching method, which focuses on "logical thinking" and "how to ask AI questions," rather than rote memorization of grammar. We are particularly good at guiding students with no prior experience to gain a sense of accomplishment.
Is there an evaluation report for the course?
Yes. We will provide each student with an "AI Skills Certificate" and a "Portfolio URL," and provide the school with a report analyzing the student's strengths and weaknesses to facilitate teacher follow-up.
