At the opening ceremony, students presented cyberspace security scenarios such as AI face-swapping and phishing emails through role-playing, combined with magic and art performances, vividly showing cyberspace security threats and defense technologies. The garden party adopted a "stamp collection and check-in" model to connect six characteristic projects, such as "National Security Knowledge Popularization" where invited police officers explained cases, "Cybersecurity Sniper Battle" full of fun and challenges, and "Cultural Security Rubbing Experience" inheriting culture, allowing participants to learn national security knowledge in an all-round and immersive way. In addition, the on-site thematic exhibition, the 1,000-person puzzle activity, and the professional explanations of the publicity team of the School of Cyberspace Security complement each other, further deepening the educational effect and enabling students to have a deeper understanding of national security knowledge.
