ts, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops. The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling panies, who, thanks to some clever negotiation by Jose, pay a higherthanmarket rate for everything brought in by Bartselana Student Bank members. The funds received are placed in the individual’s account where they collect until his/her savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw his/her money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target. “At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project, ” Jose recalls. “They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present. Luckily, I had the support of the school principal and an assistant in my classroom.” The youngster’s persistence paid off. Today, the ecobank, which now has the support of several local institutions, has ten educational centers and begins accepting applications from kids all across Peru. On November 20, 20xx, the young boy was awarded the famous Children’s Climate Prize (CCP). “Jose’s ecobank is a brilliant way of linking economy and climate impact, both in thought and practice. The potential impact is amazing,” a judge said. Hopefully, Jose’s success will inspire more kids and adults to e up with new ideas that create value while helping the environment.

An Ecobank, Economical and Ecological While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher, Will. Will is just an avatar(用戶頭像) that appears on the student’s desktop, tablet, or smartphone screen, not a humanlike robot walking around the classroom. Auckland energy pany Vector and AI pany Soul Machines worked together to develop Will, which has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to perform humanlike behavior. The digital teacher is currently assigned to teach Vector’s “Be sustainable with energy,” a free program for Auckland elementary schools. Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam(網(wǎng)絡(luò)攝像頭) and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up nonverbal cues(非口頭提示). For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This twoway interaction not only helps capture the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed. Vector’s Chief Digital Officer, Nikhil Ravishankar says, “What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.” Will, in place since August 20xx, has been a great success thus far. However, regardless of how popular it bees, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon. For one, the avatar’s knowledge base is se
