On May 11th, Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT) successfully held the campus open day, attracting students and parents from across the country. The event, which was also on live, showcased GTIIT's international educational characteristics and advantages in cultivating science and engineering talent through info sessions, student sharing, experimental demonstration, mini lectures, lab visit and consultations.

Prof. Eli Aljadeff, Acting Vice Chancellor of GTIIT engaged the audience with the "Monty Hall Problem", using this interesting mathematical game to reveal logic, probability, and reasoning in daily life. He emphasized that GTIIT provides abundant opportunities for students passionate about science and willing to work hard, and will do its best to help them achieve their goals.

Prof. Moris S. Eisen, Pro-Vice Chancellor of GTIIT brought the laboratory to the stage, enthusiastically demonstrating a series of chemistry experiments to unveil chemical principles behind everyday phenomena amid the audiences' amazement.

Prof. Lin Danming, Pro-Vice Chancellor of GTIIT delivered a lecture titled "Study STEM in an Unlimited Way", explaining how GTIIT helps students push their boundaries through solid mathematical training, problem-oriented teaching, and an innovation-integrated cultivation system. He highlighted the outstanding graduation outcomes of GTIIT students, demonstrating the success of this distinctive educational model.

Liu Xiaoqi, a student of GTIIT Mathematics with Computer Science Program, shared his journey at GTIIT - from struggling academically to publishing a first-author paper and ultimately receiving a Direct-Ph.D. Offer from a world-renowned university. "My GPA was not that high, which makes my case replicable," he demonstrated the international recognition of the Technion's degree—on par with China's top 985 universities—by presenting data on the application outcomes corresponding to different GPA ranges in the MCS program, adding that it's the pivotal support from GTIIT and Technion that makes his offers possible.

In English mini classes, students interacted with scientists to explore the frontiers of science and technology. Assoc. Prof. Yigal Achmon from GTIIT Biotechnology and Food Engineering Program decoded Technion's educational spirit with three keywords "Innovation, Excellence, Impact". "How to put the sun in a bottle?" Assoc. Prof. Aleksandra Baron-Wiechec from GTIIT Materials Science and Engineering Program guided students to contemplate material challenges in fusion reactors. GTIIT Physics teacher Amit Shlomo demonstrated principles of rotational motion with hands-on experiments, inviting students on stage to experience counterintuitive phenomena that connect science and daily lives.

"Do what you love!" advised Dr. Chen Fen, Director of GTIIT Career and Learning Center, during her career planning lecture. She guided students to identify their interests and achieve integration between academic and career development. 

At the consultation booths, faculty and students from all six undergraduate programs answered questions about program advantages and study experiences, while detailed guidance on enrollment policies was provided.
