During the preparation period, the leaders of the School of Digital Arts communicated deeply with the instructors and students for many times, went to the training site for inspection and guidance, and encouraged the participating teachers and students. The instructors carefully studied the rules of last year's national competition and this year's provincial competition, sorted out the knowledge points in the rules, and made a detailed intensive training plan. The students trained for more than 10 hours, and made a summary every day. As the competition was approaching, they carried out simulation training for 6 hours every other day, in order to strengthen their psychological ability to work under pressure. Through careful preparation and down-to-earth practice, the team has finally maintained the first place of the first prize for five consecutive years.
