SHANGHAI, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- From hands-on robotics and coding to AI learning and international competition, WhalesBot is connecting different learning experiences into a continuous pathway.
This summer, students from WhalesBot's Romanian partner Atelierele Tamarei took their learning from regular training to the international competition stage. During their Summer Robotics Bootcamp, they built, coded, and tested with WhalesBot robotics kits, refining their strategies as they prepared for upcoming ENJOY AI competitions. They later traveled to Hanoi, Vietnam, for the ENJOY AI Asian Open 2026 on August 22, and earned second place in both Mining Expedition and Skyline Adventure.
Designed for students ages 3 to 22, WhalesBot brings hardware, software, curriculum, and competition together in a complete STEM and AI education ecosystem. Within this ecosystem, hardware and software work together to combine hands-on exploration with coding. The AI Foundations learning platform integrates both into a structured, project-based curriculum, connecting AI literacy with real-world application. Supported by WhalesBot, ENJOY AI is a global robotics and AI competition that gives kids opportunities to apply what they have learned, take on real challenges, and continue building their skills. Working with schools and STEM organizations worldwide, WhalesBot brings this integrated learning ecosystem to students across different ages and learning stages.
Today, WhalesBot reaches 81+ countries and regions, serving over 30,000 schools and 20,000 educational institutions worldwide. Meanwhile, ENJOY AI hosts more than 800 events annually, engaging over 1 million participants.
The World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 estimates that 39% of workers' core skills will change by 2030, with AI, big data, and technological literacy among the fastest-growing skill areas. For students, early exposure is only a starting point.
"As AI and technological literacy become increasingly important, the real challenge is how to help young people keep learning and applying their skills over time," said Xufeng Fei, Founder and CEO of WhalesBot. "Hardware and software alone are far from enough. What we want to build is a complete STEM and AI learning environment where young people can play, learn, compete, and innovate, with each stage building on the last to support continued growth."
This December, the journey continues on a global stage. The ENJOY AI 2026 Global Final will take place in Hengdian, China, from December 4–6, bringing over 35,000 kids from around the world together to take on the next challenge.

The new series features the world's first 4K 120Hz UST projectors, Dynamic Dual Iris technology, and immersive entertainment in a simple, modern design.
SHENZHEN, CHINA, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- XGIMI, a global leader in premium smart projection and home entertainment, today announced that the AURA 3 Series is now available for pre-order, ahead of its upcoming Kickstarter campaign launching October 20. Led by the flagship AURA 3 Max, the AURA 3 Series is the world's first 4K 120Hz UST projector series, combining Dynamic Dual Iris technology and RGB Triple Laser to deliver a next-level cinematic experience in the living room.
Designed to Blend In, Built to Stand Out
At the heart of the AURA 3 Series is XGIMI's Dynamic Dual Iris optical system, making the AURA 3 Series the world's first UST projector to feature the technology.

Combined with an RGB Triple Laser light engine and XGIMI's X-VISION AI Image Processor, the AURA 3 Series is designed to deliver a premium cinematic experience across movies, sports, streaming, and more.
Available in two models, the AURA 3 Max and AURA 3 Pro share the same core visual technologies, with the Max engineered for an even more powerful large-screen viewing experience. With a 0.163:1 throw ratio, the series can project a 120-inch image from approximately 8 inches away from the wall, while its furniture-inspired design fits naturally on a media console.
The AURA 3 Series supports the latest premium HDR standards, including IMAX Enhanced, Dolby Vision, and HDR10, delivering exceptional detail, contrast, and dynamic range in every scene. Filmmaker Mode further enhances the cinematic experience by preserving the director's original creative intent, reproducing movies with the picture settings, colors, and frame rates envisioned by the filmmakers.
Beyond entertainment, the built-in XGIMI WALL app transforms the projector into a design feature when not in use. A curated selection of artistic wallpapers turns your wall into a living canvas, creating the perfect ambiance for relaxing, entertaining, and everything in between.
