Our school is committed to developing STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) curriculum to enhance science, technology, and mathematics education, and to cultivate diverse talents. Through STEAM DAY workshops, we can strengthen students' comprehensive and applied knowledge and skills, including hands-on skills, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving abilities. Additionally, our school continues to develop and optimize information technology teaching, including computer programming education, VR courses, 3D printing courses, robotics courses, and more, to enhance students' general abilities.
Our school held the "Life Education and STEAM DAY" on July 28th and 29th. Teachers designed interdisciplinary STEAM projects and infused elements of life education into the activities, fostering "Love. Maker" students with 6Cs (Creativity, Critical thinking, Communication, Collaboration, Character, Citizenship).
l Through waste utilization, students make their own soccer machine and learn to cherish toys and share with others.
l Students learn about the significance of the traditional Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival and eco-friendly ways to celebrate it. They then use waste materials and the principle of circuit connections to make eco-friendly lanterns, learning to care for the environment while enjoying the holiday.
l Students learn about the growth process of silk-cotton trees and the wonders of life. Through reading the picture book "Little Seed Big Hero," they learn about the perseverance of silk-cotton trees. They also taste herbal tea, understanding that it is an intangible cultural heritage, and learn about the spirit of dedication. Students learn about the other use of cotton, dipping it in ink to write calligraphy, experiencing the essence of Chinese culture. Finally, students make vein bookmarks, understanding the uniqueness of life and living a valuable life.
l Through waste utilization, students make their own small boats and learn about the importance of protecting the ocean.
l Teachers teach students about building materials and then let them experience building houses with cement and simulated bricks. They then discuss the design of earthquake-resistant buildings and use earthquake instruments to test and improve them, allowing students to explore scientific principles and the importance of safe buildings.
l Through making eco-friendly power cars, students play while exploring the characteristics of air, raising awareness of cherishing toys and the importance of environmental protection.
l Teachers teach students about the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and Alibaba Cloud Services, then introduce computer vision and explore how computers see information and images. They then guide students in taking sports uniform photos to build AI models, and practice basic operations on the Alibaba Cloud platform. Finally, they teach students about the labeling and model building of artificial intelligence conditions, followed by testing and reflecting on improvements in AI works.
l Through making water rockets and continuously testing and launching them, students record the trajectory of the flight using applications, calculate the speed, and finally understand the principle of rocket launching. Through teaching activities in Chinese and library classes, students gain a deeper understanding of the increasingly mature aerospace technology in China, the rapid progress made by astronauts and researchers, and learn to appreciate their efforts.
l Students wear water bottles on their feet to experience the feeling of elderly people with limited mobility. Through this, they learn to care for the elderly and design products that meet their needs - the Love-Filled Intelligent Goods Rack.
