知识点亮生活，科技创造未来

Knowledge enlightens our life,

science and technology creates the future.

【星空卫视】深圳市万科双语学校第二届科技节炫彩开幕

近年来，随着互联网、人工智能等科技高速发展，科技携手教育越发成为一种潮流，从美国火到全世界的STEAM教育已然进入国人的视线，为孩子的未来创造了无限的可能性。

As technology tools such as Internet and AI transform, it has been the prevailing trend to  combine science and technology with education. Originated from the US, STEAM education has been popular over the world and entered China which brings infinite possibilities for the future of our children.

那么，

STEAM教育与现时中国的教育相遇，

会产生怎样令人惊喜的火花呢？

So, when STEAM comes across current Chinese education, what will happen? 

今年的科技节主题为“知识点亮生活，科技创造未来”，以学科融合、互动体验、创意物化、解决实际问题为引领，为学生们打造了多个体验平台。分别从“体验、竞赛、助力、创造”四个维度让VBS的学子们爱科学、学科学、用科学，充分领略科学的深邃与美好。

l Titled 'knowledge enlightens our life, science and technology creates the future', Science Fiesta this year offered several opportunities for students to experience science on site, based on subject integration, interactive experience, realising innovation and solving real-world problems. VBS students were able to love science, study science and apply science under four domains - 'experience, contest, boost and create'.

同时通过科技节的缤纷活动，

将学校的STEAM教育竭力推进。

l VBS would also promote its STEAM Education with Science Fiesta this year. 

10月23日下午，万科双语学校操场热闹非凡。身穿白大褂、戴着博士眼镜的同学们带来的动感舞蹈《小小科学家》瞬间萌翻全场，掀开了本届科技节神秘的面纱。杨帆校长致开幕辞。她说：“……如今，全世界人民进入到了科技与信息发展的时代，每一天都有新的科技发明与创造，这些发明与创造让人类的生活更加美好。希望同学们在科技节中玩得开心，学会创造，每一位同学争当小小科学家。”

VBS playground was in the afternoon of 23rd October. Pupils put on white jackets and glasses for the opening dance 'mini scientists' for Science Fiesta this year. Principal Yang made the opening speech, 'now everybody around the world has entered the era for science and technology. New inventions and creations are made every single day which makes our lives better. I hope you guys have fun, be a mini scientist and learn to create.' 

在酷炫的“超级干冰”的实验中，杨帆校长与学校老师通过实验展示干冰带来的神奇舞台效果。烟雾缭绕的神奇仙境吸引了孩子们的眼球，随着孩子们一声声大大的惊叹声，杨校长宣布“万科双语学校第二届科技节正式开幕”。异彩纷呈的科技节瞬间点燃了学生的激情，科技节正式拉开了帷幕。

In the super dry ice experiment, Principal Yang and teachers demonstrated the effects brought by releasing dry ice in air. Excited to see the effects as the announcement was made by Principal Yang, students were passionate about the upcoming activities and Science Fiesta officially began. 

精彩纷呈的开幕式结束后，热闹非凡的科学体验活动开启了！丰富多彩、趣味盎然的科学实验可以激发孩子对科学的兴趣，这是学校在推进STEAM教育的初步设计。

Science experiments session began right after the opening. Experiments raised students' interest towards science which is the primary design for VBS to promote STEAM Education. 

这次科技体验活动内容尤其丰富，涵盖了飞机升力、迷雾之城、人体泡泡、水果电池、火山爆发、大象的牙膏、可以燃烧的水、热情如火、显微镜下的世界、机器人等13个科学体验项目，实验原理涉及物理、化学、生物、计算机等各学科知识，完美契合了学生们喜欢通过体验探索世界的天性！孩子们的眼里绽放着好奇的光芒，在各个神奇的体验地喜悦地穿梭。

Up to 13 experiments were presented at this session including elevation of airplane, foggy city, battery made by fruits, volcanic eruption, combustible water, world under microscope and robotics. Applying the principles from Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science, this session tailored students nature on exploring the world. Students were curious towards what they had just seen.

在各种各样、妙趣横生的科学体验活动中，VBS未来少年成为了自主学习的小主人，在有趣的科学小实验中品悟科技的魅力，感受科技的奇妙，激发对科技的好奇心……大家沉浸在科学创意里，学校操场成了欢乐的科学海洋。

VBS students took initiatives to explore and experience the mysteries of science by the experiments session presented in the school playground. The playground become an open field for students to study science.

STEAM培养学生的创新意识、合作精神，提高学生的创新设计能力、动手设计能力与综合素质。基于此，科学组为不同年级学生设计了竞赛活动，其原理为STEAM设计与制作的理念，包含“庇护鸡蛋”“纸牌搭高”“心中的高塔”三个大型角逐项目。

STEAM Education develops students' teamwork and awareness on innovation. The Science Department designed several contests for students from different levels, based on the concept of STEAM Education on design and making, including major tasks 'egg protection', 'card stacking' and 'tower building'. 

一年级的“庇护鸡蛋”项目，学生需要通过利用废旧物品（具体材料不限），设计思考，并制作一个庇护鸡蛋的装置，让“鸡蛋宝宝”平安通过防护网。一年级萌宝们创意无限，各种庇护装置琳琅满目……

The task 'egg protection' required Primary 1s to utilise recycled items to make devices which ensured the egg to pass through the gate without breaking. Students used all of their imaginations for the devices. 

二年级的“纸牌搭高”项目，学生不能借助任何外力和辅助物品 ，仅能通过设计纸牌造型、团队协作搭出最高的纸牌塔。

l The task for Primary 2s was to stack poker cards as high as possible using cards only. 

七八年级的“心中的高塔”项目，则是对物理、数学更深度的运用，用报纸捆绑、粘贴、搭建，什么样的机构才能屹立不倒且“高高在上”？

The task for Year 7 and 8 students was about application of Mathematics and Physics. They were required to build a stable tower using newspapers. Students were challenged on tower building - what kind of structure would make it stable? 

这次角逐设计与制作活动的目的是让学生通过设计与制作过程，掌握设计的一般过程，进一步理解结构稳定性和强度的相关概念，理解结构与功能的关系，以提高学生的设计能力、动手设计能力、合作精神，激发他们爱科学、探索科学的精神！

Students were able to master the general procedures on design and understand the durability and stability of structure after participating in the contest. They could understand the relationship between structure and function further which improved their ability in design, working, teamwork and exploring science. 

人工智能是我们学校特色课程之一，此次，人工智能课程为科技节助力，是推进STEAM教育体系中浓墨重彩的一笔，也是学生从知识维度转化为实践维度的推进器。

As the VBS special, AI has played a key role in both Science Fiesta and part of the STEAM Education. AI allows students to apply what they have just learnt into real world situations.

负责学校人工智能校本课程的吴萍老师，对这次对科技节做一次统筹，分别从体验、设计、实践三个角度给孩子们提供了丰盛的高科技智能大餐。对应三个角度的则是科技创新组全体精心设计的项目“Make block、图形化编程、奇幻3D打印”。

Ms Wu Ping, teacher in-charge of AI classes, provided an AI feast for students at Science Fiesta. As one of the VBS school-based curricula, Ms Wu presented projects 'Make block, Graphic Programming and 3D Printing'.

每个发明和创造都是从一个个好奇、问题和创意开始，这次给孩子们布置的“生活中的小发明”任务，作品就是由学生利用周末时间自己动手制作。首先由学生留心观察，发现生活中的问题，查阅资料，利用所学知识，发明创作，解决问题。

Every invention started off with questions. Students were tasked to DIY 'inventions in life' - using weekends to make items which solves issues in daily life. Students had to observe and do research before applying what they had just learnt to come up with items. 

太阳能发电车、电动风车、火禾立金等丰富多彩的作品，不仅展示了同学们的创新意识及动手动脑的能力，也体现了他们的环保意识和感恩意识，以及关注生活、乐于实践、改善生活的高度责任感。

Samples such as solar power electricity generator demonstrated students' expertise in innovation and operation, and their awareness on environmental conservation. These items also showed students' sense of responsibility in life. 

星际迷航系列

木制手工系列

国之重器系列

小发明展示区，孩子们侃侃而谈，介绍着自己的一个个“神器”，

只有想不到，没有做不到。

学生介绍自己的作品

In the show booths, students were busy introducing their own masterpieces which were beyond our inconceivability.

“生活中的小发明” 活动不仅提升了学生学习和思考的热情，而且培养了独辟蹊径的创新精神，让学生享受创造性解决问题的成就感，孩子们解决问题的过程，也是STEAM教育中批判性思维、创造性思维、沟通与表达素养、反思及元认知素养的集中体现。

'Inventions in life' motivated students to think and study, while developing innovative spirits. Students were able to enjoy the sense of achievement as they solve the problems, of which the process represented key components in STEAM Education - critical thinking, innovative thinking, communication, reflection and metacognition.
