喜讯｜ 清华附中国际部团队在国际太空城市设计大赛中国站包揽冠亚军！

The 2021-2022 International Space Competition was definitely a wonderful opportunity for all the team members to grow: to gain experience both in a more academic sense but also in cooperation and leadership. 

It was a truly fascinating moment from my perspective, watching the team members become more comfortable with the competition format and each other. The team members all familiarized themselves with their roles quickly, dedicating their hearts to creating a design that would be both creative and practical. Even though the experience wasn’t as smooth as we predicted, we facilitated the communication between schools and maximized our potential, each of us working in departments or roles that suited us the most.

In the end, all of us strengthened our skills in some way, using the best of us to benefit the company. And though we didn’t win this round, our spirits didn’t falter. 

国际太空城市设计大赛(ISSDC)对我们来说是一次绝佳的成长机会。我们既获得了更多学术上的实践经验，团队合作和领导力也得到了提升。

我觉得比赛最吸引的地方是在比赛过程中，能看到和感受到团队成员对赛制逐渐熟悉，队员之间越来越默契。团队成员都能在短时间内迅速熟悉了自己的角色，全身心地投入到创造一个既有创意又实用的设计中。尽管这次经历并不像我们预想的那样顺利，但我们增进了彼此的交流，最大限度地发挥了我们的潜力，我们每个人都找到了最适合自己的分工。

通过这次比赛，相信我们所有人都受益良多，在团队中也发挥了自身最大的作用。虽然我们团队未能夺冠，但我相信我们钻研学术的精神不会动摇。

For team Albedodebla, this year’s online ISSDC Competition was attended with 2 other teams from Beijing. Our task was to complete a design addressing the needs from the Request for Proposal in 34 hours, which was to design a base located on lava tunnels on Mercury. For us, the unique environment of multiple teams staying together to work on the project was what made the experience enthralling in particular. Through the 2 consecutive days spent at the competition, I believe that this was a once in a lifetime memorable experience for all of us.

ISSDC is not only a competition of science and engineering, it is more of a competition of teamwork and collaboration. During the China Final Round, we were able to meet an amazing group of people from all over Beijing. Everyone had their own role in certain departments, whether it was modelling, art, human factors, structure… Being physically together was a huge advantage for our team, and greatly increased the collaboration and team unity. Working together, everyone was able to play to their strengths. Everyone in the company was very considerate, and was able to understand despite the fact that language barriers existed between some of the members.

今年的ISSDC在线竞赛有些特殊，我们是和其他两个来自北京的团队一起参加的。我们的任务是在34个小时内完成设计，满足提案要求，即设计一个位于水星熔岩隧道上的基地。对我们来说，与多个其他学校的团队一同合作，共同完成连续两天的比赛，是一次终生难忘的经历。

ISSDC不仅是一个科学和工程的比赛，更是一个团队合作的比赛。在中国区决赛期间，我们能够认识来自北京各个学校的优秀学生团队。而且，我们能够充分意识到，每个人各有所长，在团队里各有分工，无论是建模、艺术、人文、结构……将大家的强项在一起就形成了我们团队的巨大优势，从而大大增强了团队的团结。在一起工作，每个人都能发挥自己的长处。而且，团队中的每位成员都能为彼此着想，乐于沟通。

This was my first year attending ISSDC, so everything was new to me. I was unsure of rules, what to do, the procedures and series of events, etc. However, as the competition progressed, with the constant guiding hand of Victor and the other juniors, I was not only successful in getting comfortable with this style of competition but was also successful in leading my department to get their parts finished both in time and with high quality. Apart from being good teachers, my teammates were also a great group of friends that made me feel right at home. In the end, although we got a close second, I’m still proud of the effort and teamwork we put forth.

Also, I felt that the competition was always a surprise for me. At the beginning, I thought it was going to be hard, but the teamwork made me realize that I was with a great group of excellent friends and that the competition wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. In the end, our department was surprised to deliver an excellent design. It was also a surprise for me to win the best representor award.

这是我第一年参加ISSDC，所以一切对我来说都很新鲜。刚开始，我不熟悉比赛规则也不清楚比赛的流程。但我的队员们对我来说，亦师亦友，帮助了我很多。随着比赛的进行，在尹天成同学和其他队友的协助下，我不仅熟悉了比赛方式，还成功地带领我的部门高效地完成了我们的任务。虽然最后我们获得了亚军，但我仍为我们的努力和团队合作感到自豪。

另外，我感到比赛总能为我带来惊喜。一开始我就觉得比赛进行地很苦难，但团队的协作让我意识到和我相处的是一群很优秀的伙伴，而且比赛并不像我想象的那么难。最后，我们部门惊喜地交出了一份出色的设计方案。能够获得最佳答辩奖，对我而言也是一个惊喜。
