Abstract
<p>This report addresses the significance of assembling gifted children in a non-formal context, using the just concluded Asia-Pacific Conference on Giftedness (APCG) 2024 Pre-Youth Summit as a case study. This event was held in Shodoshima island, Kagawa prefecture. A total of 13 teenagers (5 boys and 8 girls) participated in this event, with 15 staff members. The Summit was held for 3 consecutive days. Participants chose to work on one of the 6 inquiry groups. The sixth group (“Optimization of windmills leveraging using AI”) activities were held in English with 3 participants, under the guidance of 2 staff members. Two online surveys were conducted at the end of the Summit, one for parents and one for students. The results show that there were many positive outcomes after the Summit, including motivation to engage in more challenging scientific tasks, enjoy learning in an informal environment, work as a team and study English language to be able to communicate effectively.</p>
