Modeled after Harvard’s own Harvard Thinks Big, China Thinks Big brings Harvard’s research methodology and innovative mindset to China’s aspiring youth. Over the course of a 6-month competition, under guidance from a judging committee from Harvard, Yale and MIT, as well as top Chinese universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua University and Fudan University, students learn to initiate and complete independent group research projects focused on one of 100 challenges across 19 subjects including Art, Business and Entrepreneurship, Architecture and Urban Studies, Psychology, Engineering and Technology, and so forth, forming China’s largest innovation youth community. Each year, China Thinks Big attracts participation from thousands of high school students from hundreds of top high schools nationwide. This year alone, social media campaigns initiated by China Thinks Big participants have cumulatively impacted an audience group of several million people. In the past 5 years of the competition, participants’ research papers and proposals have later developed into articles published in academic journals, policy papers accepted by provincial People’s Congress branches around China, and social initiatives widely covered by national media outlets such as People’s Daily, CCTV, Xinhua News Agency, CBNweekly, and China Daily.
