Pudong Campus: Young Scientists Never Stop Exploring

May 27, 2020

The Pudong Science Fair 2020 winners were announced on May 27th. This was our first online Science Fair. In order to make it happen, our students and teachers worked even harder this year.

Our students spent almost a whole month preparing for this event and tried their best in everything with their young team members in order to show their fellow students a cool and fabulous experiment. They worked through their experiments with the scientific methods we have learned in science class: find a problem, make a hypothesis, conduct the experiment, analyze the data and form a conclusion.

Our teachers also tried their best to support their students. From zoom meetings to extra video and PDF explanations—no matter where the students were, their teachers were always there to help.

Without even realizing it, our students experienced the complete process of an experiment and conducted their experiment in exactly the same way as the professional scientists do.

The presentations this year were quite unique as well. Since face-to-face communications were not available, we uploaded all the presentations to the forums on LC. Students recorded their presentations as videos and shared them with their fellow students on LC. In the past week, it was the most fun activity in their science class as they learned through viewing each other’s works and leaving comments.

After the students and teachers voted on their favorite projects, we got the final winners from each homeroom. Teachers displayed all the winners’ presentation videos online and hope that more students can benefit from viewing others’ work.

This Science Fair is a perfect sample of the combination of science and technology. And it also showed that nothing can stop our young scientists from exploring the world.
