Harvard University - Global Innovative Thinking & Design, Leadership Research Program adopts the practical teaching methods of Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to cultivate future leaders, research scholars and innovative talents, combined with the latest global innovative thinking and leadership education research results, and taught by top scholars from Harvard University. Through lectures, individual and group activities, critical discussions and other teaching methods, the most authentic Harvard classroom is presented to students.

Through this program, students will find a problem in the world they want to solve and come up with a feasible solution that meets real standards of research and design. In the past, projects have included solving poverty problems in a specific area; designing a new lighting system; creating multiple mobile apps; designing an innovative elementary school; designing a website that connects young people to the world; and creating a clothing line. Students will have the opportunity to focus on their areas of interest, while also receiving a lot of advice and feedback from Harvard's top professors in education, technology, business, and engineering.

During the program, Harvard professors will conduct another assessment and select extremely outstanding students based on their performance. These students must have performed well in the research project and made significant contributions to the project. They are very likely to have the opportunity to continue to participate in their mentor's scientific research projects, and have the advantage of priority admission to Harvard University, or even the honor of receiving a Harvard University scholarship.
