Ambow Education Holding Ltd.'s wholly owned subsidiary, NewSchool of Architecture & Design, has successfully concluded the NSAD AI Design Workshop and Design & Build Summer Intensive. Held from June 29 through July 2, 2026, at NewSchool’s downtown San Diego campus, the four-day program introduced more than 30 students aged 14 to 17 to AI-augmented architecture, design, and construction. The initiative underscores Ambow's strategic focus on integrating artificial intelligence with design education to prepare the next generation for an AI-powered economy.

The program provided hands-on instruction in physical model-making, AI-assisted design exploration, and direct engagement with faculty and industry professionals. Students explored how AI tools support early-stage ideation, visualization, and iteration, while faculty emphasized the enduring importance of creativity, judgment, and human-centered problem-solving. The intensive culminated in a final showcase on July 2, where students presented their AI-informed design projects to the community.

"AI is changing the way designers think, create, test, and communicate ideas," said Dr. Jin Huang, CEO and Chair of the Board of Ambow Education Holding Ltd. "Through NewSchool, Ambow is building a practical bridge between emerging AI technologies and the next generation of architects, designers, and builders. This program gave young students direct exposure to AI-augmented design in a real studio environment."

Strategic Integration of AI in Education

The workshop combined traditional design education with AI-native learning methods, demonstrating how emerging technologies are transforming professional practice. Ambow aims to extend its AI-powered education strategy across youth learning, higher education, and professional training through its patented HybriU platform. The company believes AI literacy is essential beyond computer science, extending into fields like architecture, media, and healthcare.

"NewSchool is uniquely positioned to show students what the future of design education looks like," said James Bartholomew, President of Ambow Education Holding Ltd. "The program brought together NewSchool’s academic strengths, Ambow’s AI education vision, and the curiosity of young learners. It also demonstrates how Ambow’s AI-powered education strategy can extend across youth learning, higher education, and professional training."

Program Details and Future Outlook

Ambow expects the workshop to become a recurring program at NewSchool and a model for future AI-powered design learning initiatives. The company is committed to expanding access to AI literacy, ensuring students understand how to apply these tools thoughtfully and responsibly in real-world creative practice.

Ambow Education Holding Ltd., a U.S.-based AI-powered phygital technology company headquartered in Cupertino, California, has launched HybriU ProjectHub, a centralized project collaboration and knowledge platform. Available globally beginning June 18, 2026, the platform aims to unify fragmented project information across documents, conversations, and live collaboration into one secure intelligent workspace. This launch addresses the gap left by single-purpose file-storage, project-management, and meeting tools.

HybriU ProjectHub integrates documents, presentations, spreadsheets, images, conversations, meeting records, and real-time collaboration tools into a single environment. The platform features an AI assistant that analyzes project materials to generate summaries and reports. Role-based access control ensures users only access information they are authorized to view, while live collaboration sessions can launch directly within a project.

This release is the second HybriU product launch in 2026, following the recent introduction of the HybriU Collaboration Board. It reflects Ambow's continued expansion of HybriU as an integrated platform across the full collaboration and project lifecycle. The platform is accessible at projecthub.hybriu.com.

Key Features of HybriU ProjectHub

Ambow Education Holding Ltd. continues to enhance its HybriU platform to meet the evolving needs of hybrid learning and collaboration. The company's focus on AI-powered phygital technology positions it as a key player in the digital collaboration space.
