About NSL

关于NSL

The Ten80 National STEM League is Project-Based Learning that can help students learn the skills to thrive in a team-oriented atmosphere while also learning why mathematics and physics are helpful. There is a place for all students to contribute to the team through race engineering, coding and automation, design and fabrication, graphic design, marketing, community outreach and data-driven design projects that ask students to follow their own interests.

美国STEM大联盟杯(National STEM League,以下简称NSL)是美国最具创新和深受学生热爱的STEM活动之一。NSL以纳斯卡赛车为原型,学生通过运营一家属于自己的科技赛车公司,担任不同的角色(车队经理、工程师、赛车手、商务外联、设计师、媒体公关等),学习50学时全PBL(问题式学习)设计课程来完成各项挑战。在奥巴马政府期间,NSL从全美2000多个STEM项目中脱颖而出,被评为全美四大优质STEM项目:最具课程完整度、最具有效性、最具可复制性。

As the exclusive partner of Ten80 in China, SKT introduced the NSL to China in 2017. This year the event was held in Shanghai, gathering more than 200 students from 30 teams of different schools.

美国STEM大联盟杯由美国Ten80教育集团举办,Ten80是美国最专业的STEM课程研发、教师培训和活动运营平台。作为Ten80在中国的独家合作伙伴——SKT思珂教育集团由2017年开始引入美国STEM大联盟杯,首年共有2所学校的4支队伍参与美国终点站。2018年是SKT首次举办中国站活动,本次活动于2018年12月15日-16日在上海举办,共有来自全国5大区、10多个城市、16所学校、30个车队的200多名初高中学生齐聚一堂,一决高下!

Team ONE

玮希ONE战队

This September, Changsha WES Academy started an Automotive Engineering and Design project in school collaboratively with SKT. Led by Mr. Victor Liao, six students from Bilingual Lower Secondary participated in the League and won the Grand Champion. This team is named ONE!

2018年9月,长沙玮希国际学校与SKT合作在我校正式开设了智能竞速赛车兴趣小组课程,经过三个多月的学习和磨合,在廖老师的指导和带领下,由玮希双语初中部的六位同学组成的ONE战队经过激烈的角逐和艰辛的努力,终于获得了美国STEM大联盟杯中国赛区初中组第一名的好成绩!

The paticipants had to assess and modify all aspects of the car performance to create a car with optimum performance. Our team ONE won three car racing challenges and a design challenge (team logo and car body), which led us to the Grand Champion.

本次比赛的参赛车队需要根据参赛要求,现场改装智能车,并通过答辩来阐释改装思路,演讲来进行形象展示,从而完成赛道上的四项操控挑战和两项展示挑战。我校ONE战队的队员们不惧艰辛、精诚合作,在四项操控挑战中获得了三项单项冠军(进站维修合作挑战赛冠军、10分钟最多弯道圈数赛冠军、30分钟耐力赛冠军),并获得展示挑战赛中logo和车体设计冠军,最终在初中组的团体赛中,杀出重围获得初中组的总冠军!!

On Day 1, team ONE got the 1st place in Pit Crew Challenge easily.

短短两天的比赛,紧张而曲折。第一天的重头戏是初中组进站维修合作挑战赛,我们长沙玮希国际学校的ONE车队先下一城,赢得比较轻松。

Day 2 started with the Best Single Lap, unfortunately Eason's car broke down on the way. However he was not defeated. He offered to take part in the next game instead. Soon, he won two challenges together with other team members.

第二天,全体队员早早刚到比赛现场。车手试开了好几十圈,感觉不错。9:30,单圈最快速度比拼开始。没想到的是,我们的车刚开半圈就抛锚了。按原计划我们是换赛车手。这时候,Eason同学,主动要求继续参加下一场比赛,希望在哪里跌倒,就在哪里爬起来。主教练廖老师,基于平常对Eason的了解和信任,同意了他的想法。在接下来的比赛中,Eason同学和小伙伴们连续拿下了两个单项冠军。

Kitty and Lilly also did a great job in their presentations and they won the 1st place for logo and car body design.

两位设计师Kitty和Lilly同学,在形象展示环节的表现也是精彩纷呈,她们为车队捧回了一座logo和车体设计冠军奖杯。

Reflection

成长感悟

We will like to thank the school, teachers and parents for supporting the participants. Here below the students shared some of their thoughts and reflections:

本次参赛,得到了学校各级领导和老师们,还有家长的大力支持,是同学们辛勤付出后的一次收获之旅。通过这场比赛,参赛的队员们不仅收获了成功的喜悦,更是享受竞赛过程中获得的成长感悟:

Eason 易洲成

Team spirit is important; Remain calm and patient.

这次活动我感受比较大的有两点。

第一,一个团队要有一个团队的精神,不要因为一个人的事而影响到了整个团体。

第二,遇到什么事情都不要急躁。急躁反而会办不好事情。也就是说心急吃不了热豆腐。我们做什么事都要镇定冷静。

以上两点就是我对这次活动最大的感受。

Kitty 廖容

I am so tired... but I did learn things. On one hand, we shouldn't quarrel during the game as it affects the team. We should learn to control our emotions. On the other hand, design requires originality.

比赛终于结束了……

终于结束了……

结束了……

这两天下来,整个人都快累趴下了……

妈呀,太累了………………

好了,说正事儿:

这两天,四场比赛,一段演讲,加上一个评选,N次会议,X次争执,A次互怼,虽然令我有点疲惫,但我也学到了不少东西:

一,比赛过程中无论如何不能吵架,吵架对团队的影响非常不好。

二,设计的时候,要找一个标志性的图案,否则不能让别人印象深刻——我们组就是没有标志性图案,才会不够醒目(虽然最后还是冠军)。

三,比赛会让人心情急躁,所以在比赛时控制好情绪是非常important的。一旦没有控制好,吵起来,80%凉凉。这是我亲身体验的。

我学到的绝对不止这些,但由于篇幅有限,就不一一在此罗列了,byebye~

Lilly 戴瑾瑜

I worked mainly for the car body and booth design. Motif is to the design what goal is to our life.

大家好,我是Lilly,我是本队的副设计师和形象大使,主要是负责本队的车壳和展台的设计与布置。在设计时,要明确主题,其实就像是一个人在生活中一样,如果没有努力的方向(目标)是很难成功的。

Cathy 曾思佳

I am the engineer in the team. I modify and debug cars. I heard one saying in the game and loved it: Teach for the unknown and learn for the future. I am more interested in automotive engineering now.

我是ONE战队的工程师曾思佳Cathy,主要是负责赛车的改装和调试。

在这次比赛有句话我特别喜欢:为未知而教,为未来而学。

通过这次比赛,我对汽车工程的兴趣更浓厚了。

Hank 唐文洪

I learned that we shouldn't always blame others. Also, in a racing game, you should find the balance between playing fast and playing safe. We're a team!

这次活动我的感受就是不要总是责怪他人,还有不要总是为一些小事情闹的伤了和气。前期的准备和后期的比赛都要稳一点,不要求快。千万记住,我们是个团队,我们不是一个人在战斗!

Sean 许亦韩

I'm the team manager. We feel very honored to win the Grand Champion as a team representing Hunan and even Central China. This achievement belongs to the whole team and the school. Thank you, teachers, friends and WES!

我是ONE 车队的经理Sean Xu,我们很荣幸的在比赛中拿到了初中组第一的成绩。这不只是我一个人的荣耀,是我们车队所有人,乃至整个湖南省的荣耀,我们是代表着整个华中地区参赛的。拿到第一不是因为我一个人的努力,而是整个团队的努力和玮希师生的帮助,我在此表示感谢,感谢老师的帮助,感谢同学的支持,感谢学校的赞助以及学校给予我们参赛的机会。谢谢大家的支持!

Team ONE impressed us with their performance in the NSL China Invitational by using knowledge of physics, mathematics, art design and other related knowledge to solve problems with creativity. Small steps get us to faraway places. We hope every small effort of our students in school will help them to head for greater future success!

美国STEM大联盟杯2018中国站的比赛旨在联合课程与挑战,以解决问题为导向,培养学生运用工程思维不断创新、寻找最优解决方案的思维和能力。此次大赛,参赛的队员们所表现出的这些解决问题的优秀能力,真正体现出了长沙玮希国际学校培养学生的目标和方向,不积跬步无以至千里,我们盼望着玮希的学子们通过每天在学校收获的一小步,逐步踏上其人生的成功之路!
