计算机科学教育周

By 2020年12月18日 星期五Events, High School, Middle School, Primary School

上周,一年一度的“计算机科学教育周”活动在清华附中国际部附中校区和稻香湖校区展开。在计算机科学教育周中,老师们针对不同年龄段的学生设计了三项精彩活动:参观联想(上地)信息技术有限公司、乐高EV3机器人编程课程和Scratch工具游戏设计。

“计算机科学教育周”由Code.org发起,从最初的草根倡议发展成现在的全球性活动,已经获得400个合作伙伴和20万名教育者的支持。

Last week, THIS teachers designed the Hour of Code week for students cross different grade level to learn about computer science. There are three wonderful activities arranged for both FZ campus and DL campus:Lenovo Field Trip, Robotic Programming and Introducing Kids to Computer Programming.

Computer Science Education Week is an annual celebration dedicated to inspiring K-12 students to take interest in computer science. Originally conceived by Computing in the Core coalition, Code.org organizes CSEd Week as a grassroots campaign supported by 400 partners and 200,000 educators worldwide.

“一小时编程”证书

Hour of Code

“一小时编程”是计算机科学教育周的重头戏,教师希望学生们通过一个小时的学习,解开编程的神秘面纱,向孩子们证明每一个人都可以从零学习基础编程,鼓励他们在计算机科学领域进行更深层面的探索。

学习“一小时编程”不仅有助于培养孩子在计算机科学方面的逻辑性、创造力,对于塑造孩子在语言、社会科学、艺术等课程的理解力上也十分有益。小学、中学甚至幼儿园的学生都可以从课程中提升逻辑思维能力

今年,超过350名学生从清华附中国际部的导师这里学习课程,得到了“一小时编程”活动的证书。

The Hour of Code (HOC) started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify “code”, to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. It has since become a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science, starting with 1-hour coding activities but expanding to all sorts of community efforts.

Coding activities aren’t just a fit for math and computer science; they can also be a part of lessons and projects in Chinese, English, social studies, science, art, and beyond. Students at the elementary, secondary level, or even in kindergarten, can benefit from opportunities to practice computational thinking. Furthermore, the HOC event engages teachers, in experimenting with programming and game creation.

This year 2020, more than 350 students in THIS and beyond learned an hour of code from THIS instructors.

Lenovo Field Trip

As an activity of Hour of Code, there is a field trip to Lenovo Shangdi Information Industry Base/Beijing. This is a great chance for THIS students to Learning about computer science in a real-world environment which can really spark students’ imaginations and reveal the dynamics of careers in the computer and technology field as well as help them build connections between technology and academics subjects.

向孩子们介绍计算机编程

Introducing Kids to Computer Programming

了解电脑和学习编程的基础知识有助于开发孩子们的逻辑能力。学习编程不仅有助于少儿、青少年掌握计算机技术的相关技能,还对他们的长远发展起到重要作用,这也是学习编程的重要原因之一。

Scratch是麻省理工学院媒体实验室开发的图形化编程工具,主要面对青少年开放。“一小时编程”活动中,低年级同学可以使用图形化的积木制作专属的游戏作品。

Mr. Joseph为小学讲解基础编程

Understanding computers and learning the basics of coding helps children to develop an appreciation of how things work. Learning to code gives children the chance to learn this type of skill while they are young and it can help them along the way in life. This is one of the big reasons coding is important to learn.

Scratch is a block-based visual programming language and online community targeted primarily at children. Students can create online projects using a block-like interface. The service is developed by the MIT Media Lab.

为什么清华附中国际部重视计算机科学学习?

Why CS?

清华附中国际部相信,学习计算机科学有助于培养孩子的逻辑性、创造力,以及解决问题的能力,对于塑造21世纪专业人才是至关重要的。

这也正符合了“勤于探索”的国际部核心价值观,鼓励学生用求索的态度对待激起学生好奇心的问题,用创作型的思维面对机遇与挑战!

The computer and technology department @ THIS believes that every student at THIS should have the opportunity to learn computer science. It helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic, and creativity. By starting early, students will have a foundation for success in any 21st-century career path.

This is also in line with the core values of “Discovery” of THIS: Pursuing ideas and topics that pique our curiosity, and developing creative responses to challenges and opportunities.
