那么,此次参加的美高学子有何心得与感受呢?让我们一起来看看部分同学的分享。

Betty

⼤家好,我是来⾃11B的朱凯韵同时也是NSN队(never say never)队长,我很开⼼我们能晋级国

赛,在这个⽐赛中我们组也是经历了⼀次⼜⼀次的失败最终获得了⼀个想法。

起初我们的设计思路是从个⼈思考去着⼿的,最后进⾏汇总。我们第⼀次得到的想法是液压机械臂,我们看了很多很多机械臂的视频,发现如果想实现液压机械臂的想法我们需要有很多精密的仪器去帮助测量数据,我们还得考虑如何使液体在完全密封的环境下不漏出来。尝试了⼀遍⼜⼀遍最后在第三次试验中,我们得出是不是可以使⽤⽓体压⼒,借⽓体压⼒去实现推⼒。在材料的选择上,我们最终选择了针筒去实现⽓压机械臂这个想法。第⼆个模型,我们参考了往届⽐赛⼯程的想法,我们原先想做⼀个半⽶的⼯程,但是在⼀次次的实验中喝⻋⾃重的问题,导致于我们不得不缩⼩⼯程的模型。在电线的连接和焊接上,我们也是遇到了很⼤的困难。但是经过了我们队员的不懈努⼒最后解决并完美完成了这⼀个问题。在这个⽐赛中,我⾃身也是收获了很多的经验,例如在我们这个团队中,我收获了⼀群可爱的队友和知道了团队协作的重要性。

在模型的制作中,我们总是过于理想化。这种理想化也让我们的第⼀部分的⽐赛没有到达预期的效果,但是在第⼆部分中我们有作出改变,这个改变也让我们取得了优异的成绩。这是对我来说收获很⼤的⽐赛。我也要感谢我们所有的指导⽼师:Jerry,Weston,Jackie。希望我们组在全国赛中也能取得好的名次。

Kelvin

通过这么长时间的磨合和准备, 我们组在DI比赛中取得了优异的成绩。从刚开始的陌生到后面的配合, 我们经过思考问题, 提出方案, 整合资源, 大量的手工制作中, 学会了与组员积极配合, 解决问题。 

我们在刚开始拿到挑战的时候不以为然,认为我们的准备和能力绝对绰绰有余,但事与愿违,等到我们发现我们的实力远不至此的时候时间已经所剩不多。一个人的力量是绝对无法完成如此⼤的⼯作量,也是因此我们意识到了团队合作凝聚的⼒量。

在开始这项挑战的时候我对该模式⼀⽆所知,我也对此没有⼀点信⼼,甚⾄不知从何做起,我的贡献也微乎其微。经过长时间的学习与沟通,我也对此有更多的了解,能够融⼊到团多的⼯作流⽔中,收获甚多。不枉我们这么长时间的付出与努⼒,也希望我们能在国赛中展现出更好的⾃⼰!

Daisy 

我是来⾃美⾼双语的陈秋筱,这⼀次在di⽐赛⾥⾯我收获了很多。我在其中学会了物理知识,在其中也有发挥到我的动⼿能⼒,也学会到了如何有效的沟通,在制作的过程中我们意见统⼀,过程都很顺利。希望我们在全国赛中也能晋级!

Cavin

这次的⽐赛让我收获很多,包括解决问题的⽅法,思考问题的⻆度以及团队合作的能⼒。

⾸先,在准备⽐赛的过程中我们遇到了各种难题。在其中,我们的很多问题都是⽆法预料的,在解决问题的过程中,我们学到了不能将事情想得过于理想化,在实际操作起来的时候有很多问题是我们⽆法预料到的。

其次,我意识到了团队合作的重要性。这是我最能感受到合作能⼒如此重要的⼀场⽐赛。有的时候,我们会将简单的事情重复做很多遍,或者将苦难的事情往后拖延。但其实团队中的成员积极沟通,互相帮助完成合作,任务的发展会⾮常的顺利。

最后,这次的竞赛让我遇到了很多帮助很⼤的组员,也让我⽤更多的⻆度去看待⼀件事情,我们所有成员的收获都很⼤

Jack

我认为,每⼀次经历都是⽣活给予的宝贵经验,是成⻓的必然。这次参加DI竞赛也不例外。在参赛过程中,我发现了⾃⼰的不⾜,学习到了如何⾼效解决问题,拓展了思维的开阔度。

通过这⼀次⽐赛我明⽩,具有敢于⾯对并跨过困难的能⼒和合理分配完成任务的顺序的思想对于任何⽐赛的结果都有着决定性的影响。在团队合作的这⼀项⽬中,我们组因为惧怕⾯对棘⼿的问题,总是把这些问题尽可能的往后拖延。

然⽽我们不知道的是每⼀个⼯作中的关系都是环环相扣的。当我们完成了最棘⼿的挑战,后⾯的问题也就迎刃⽽解了。

Lilian

我们很荣幸能获得这个奖项,并有机会进⼊全国⽐赛。我们为这次⽐赛付出了很多。为了找到最合适的材料,我们⼀次⼜⼀次的去了材料市场。我们经常熬夜只是为了达到更好的效果。

回顾这次⽐赛,我们有太多的⼈需要感谢,⼀路上,我们为⽐赛做准备,⼀路上,我们遇到挫折,我们⾯临瓶颈,我们会感到压⼒,但我们从未想过放弃。感谢所有的团队成员,我们已经⼀起努⼒了好⼏个⽉。我还要感谢Weston⽼师,Jerry⽼师和Jacky⽼师夜以继⽇地帮助陪伴我们。在接下来的⽐赛中,我们依然会全⼒以赴!

Doris

我们这次Di比赛选择了C艺术挑战,参赛人有7人分别是范依蓉,傅子萱,林瑶,留若真,张雨卉,孙昊,若杉泰新。大家在之前都没有参赛经历,但是大家都非常重视这次比赛,我们都花费了许多时间和精力在这次的DI创作和表扬上。在这次DI比赛过程中我们收获了许多经验。

我们DI剧本主要有两个角色一个角色是一位年轻的男孩,他害怕与人交流,性格内向,有些许自闭,给人的第一形象就是邋里邋遢的宅男) 第二个角色是一位阳光开朗,为人和善,爱干净整洁并且追求时尚女孩。

剧情背景:男女生是邻居,互相不熟悉,平时没什么交集。

剧情概括:男生第一次使用推开砖头的方法偷窥女邻居,被识破后,他尝试了双面镜,他以为这次不会再被发现,但还是出了意外。随后男孩在梦境里被双面镜困住,得到了相应的报应。

这个故事是想要呼吁大家不要随意偷窥别人的生活特别是在现在这个特技发达的年代,每个人都有权拥有自己的隐私,并且不要抱着侥幸心理去做坏事。

在DI紧张的准备时间里,我们团队也发生过许多有趣的事情。记得有一次,我们需要给一块两米的纸板刷上颜料,蓝色丙烯颜料混上水,伴随着刷子的搅动,颜料四溅。两把刷子根本忙不过来,有同学也顾不上脏,直接拿手当成刷子,在板上填色。大家齐心协力完成一块大值班,也顾不得身上的白色衬衫已染上蓝色。剩下了些颜料,我们便举起刷子为对方定制了一件蓝色扎染衬衣,欢声笑语充斥着我们的比赛,冲淡了我们紧张的氛围。因为有我们,所以我们才能取得胜利的成就。

我们在DI这个比赛中学到了团结。刚开始的时候,我们团队每个人都不各管各的,觉得自己完成自己的部分就好了,导致大家总是有矛盾和不和谐。从准备道具到演习拍摄,我们都遇到了不一样的困难,有些人对剧本有疑问。为了让大家更团结,我们定期会开一个小会,来总结这一段时间大家的成果和之后的计划,每个人也可以提出问题和解决方法。这次比赛让我们组的成员在解决事情上更加的快递,并且耐心,互相理解对方,心胸更加宽广。

在这次的DI比赛中,我们学习到了很多很多知识和方法。也知道了团队合作的重要性。我们同样学习到了在队友有困难时,如何安慰队友;在有突发情况时,临时更改剧本,让剧本变得更加有意义;在有材料做错时,不气馁,马上重做,并且改得更好;在自己有些小情绪时,快速调整,为团队做考虑。总的来说,在这次团队比赛中,我们互相督促,互相进步,也在最后取得了很好的成绩。获得这个奖是大家共同努力得来的,每个人都很不容易,但是也非常的来之不易。希望我们在国赛时,也能做到这点,争取做得更好。

最后,很开心在这次DI市赛中获得第五名,我们会继续在国赛中继续努力,吸取上一次比赛不足的教训,取得更好的成绩。

In December 2021, LWS students participated in the 2021-2022 DI Shanghai Youth Innovative Thinking Contest. In this competition, LWS students stood out among many contestants with their innovative and surprising performance and advanced to the DI National Competition! 

National Economics Challenge

Destination Imagination, a program to educate teenagers’ creativity. Its name means infinite creativity and imagination. This program required a 5-to-7-member team picks an annual challenge to solve. Team Challenge required students to include all required challenge factors with budget requirement and preparation time into an 8-minute performance. Other than team challenge, team is also required to complete an Instant Challenge, which would be released when team arrived the tournament. Team will solve the Instant Challenge in required time by completing the tasks.

指导教师Jerry

DESTINATION IMAGINATION (DI) is an international competition aimed at cultivating the practical innovation ability of teenagers.  Students who are innovative and love challenges can participate in DI competitions to develop creative and practical skills, problem-solving skills and teamwork skills.  In addition to teaching activities, Living Word Shanghai encourages more students to participate in international science and technology competitions to cultivate students' comprehensive quality.  Introducing DI also reflected the school's teaching goal "cultivating future industry leaders". Students who have participated in DI have experienced all-round challenges in script creation, drawing and design, hands-on operation and photography and editing, and have superior leadership and decision-making abilities in computer, science and technology, art and directing.

So, how do the LWS students  participating in the competition feel? 

 Betty

Hello everyone, I am Betty from 11B and the captain of NSN Team (Never say never). I am very happy that we can qualify for the National Competition. In this competition, our group also experienced many failures and finally gained an idea.

 At first, our design ideas started from individual thinking, and finally summarized. The first idea we got was a hydraulic arm, and we watched many, many videos of the hydraulic arm, and we realized that if we wanted to implement the hydraulic arm idea we needed to have a lot of sophisticated instruments to help measure the data, and we had to figure out how to keep the fluid from leaking out in a completely sealed environment. We tried it over and over and over again and finally on the third trial, we figured out if we could use the gas pressure, the gas pressure to push. In terms of material selection, we finally chose the work drum to 

realize the idea of pneumatic manipulator. For the second model, we referenced the idea of engineering vehicles in previous races. We originally wanted to build an engineering vehicle, half a meter long, but because of the weight of the vehicle in each trial, we had to reduce weight of the engineering vehicle. We also encountered great difficulties in the connection and welding of wires. However, through the unremitting efforts of our team members, we finally solved and completed this problem perfectly. 

In this competition, I also gained a lot of experience. For example, In our team, I gained a group of lovely teammates and knew the importance of teamwork. In model making, we are always too idealistic. This idealization also prevented us from achieving the desired results in the first part of the competition, but we made a change in the second part, which also led to excellent results. It was a very rewarding game for me.I also want to thank all of our advisors: Ms. Jerry, Mr. Weston, Mr.Jackie. I hope our group can also get a good ranking in the national competition.

Kelvin

Look through the several months past, our group achieved excellent results in the DI competition. We thought about problems, proposed solutions, integrated resources together, and learned to actively cooperate with team members to solve problems through a lot of manual production.

When we first got the challenge, we thought that our preparation and ability were more than enough, but we eventually out of time when we notice we are not that well-prepared. It is impossible for one person to finish such a large scale of work, which is why we realized the power of teamwork.

I am not confident about my skill of this related tasks, but I learnt a lot from conservations among my teammates.

Wish we got an ideal score on the upcoming challenges!

Daisy 

I'm Daisy Chen from LWS. I gained a lot in the di competition this time. I learned physics knowledge in it, and also gave full play to my hands-on ability. I also learned how to communicate effectively. In the production process, we unified our opinions and the process was smooth. I hope we can also advance in the national competition!

Jeremy

Cavin

I gained a lot from this competition, including problem solving methods, thinking perspectives and teamwork skills.

First of all, in the process of preparing for the competition, we encountered various problems. In the process of problem solving, we learned that we should not think too idealistically and that there are many problems that we cannot anticipate when it comes to actual operation.

Secondly, I realized the importance of teamwork. This was the competition where I could feel the ability to work together so much more important. There are times when we repeat simple things many times, or put off the hard things later. But in fact, the task will develop very smoothly when the members of the team actively communicate and help each other to complete the cooperation.

Finally, this competition made me meet a lot of group members who helped a lot and made me look at a thing with more perspectives, and all of us members gained a lot.

Jack

I believe that every experience is a valuable experience given by life and a necessity for growth. This participation in the DI competition was no exception. During the competition, I discovered my shortcomings, learned how to solve problems efficiently, and expanded the openness of my mind. Through this competition I understood that having the ability to face and cross over difficulties and the idea of distributing the order of completing tasks rationally have a decisive impact on the outcome of any competition. In this project of teamwork, our group always put off the problems as long as possible because we were afraid of facing the tough problems. What we didn't realize was that every relationship in the work was intertwined. Once we completed the toughest challenges, the problems that followed would be solved.

Lilian

We are very honored to receive the award and have the opportunity to enter the national competition. We've worked so hard for this tournament. In order to find the most suitable material, we went to the material market again and again. We often stay up late just to be better. Looking back on this competition, there are too many people to thank, along the way, we prepare for the competition, along the way, we have encountered setbacks, we have faced bottlenecks, we will feel pressure, but we have never thought of giving up. Thanks to all the team members, we've been working together for months. I also want to thank Mr. Weston, Ms. Jerry and Mr. Jacky for helping us around the clock. We will try our best in the following matches!

Doris

We chose the C art challenge in this di competition. There are 7 participants, namely fan Yirong, Fu Zixuan, Lin Yao, Liu ruozhen, Zhang Yuhui, SUN Hao and Ruoshan Taixin. Everyone has no competition experience before, but everyone attaches great importance to this competition. We all spent a lot of time and energy on di creation and praise. We gained a lot of experience in this di competition.Our Di script mainly has two roles. One is a young boy who is afraid of communicating with others. He is introverted and a little autistic. His first image is a sloppy otaku. The second role is a sunny, cheerful, kind-hearted, clean and tidy girl who pursues fashion.Plot background: male and female students are neighbors and are not familiar with each other. They usually have no intersection.Summary of the plot: the boy used the method of pushing open the brick to peep at the female neighbor for the first time. After being seen through, he tried the double-sided mirror. He thought he would not be found again this time, but there was an accident. Then the boy was trapped by the double-sided mirror in his dream and got the corresponding retribution.This story is to appeal to everyone not to peep into other people's lives at will, especially in this age of developed stunts, everyone has the right to have their own privacy, and don't do bad things with luck.During the intense preparation time of Di, many interesting things happened in our team. I remember once, we needed to paint a two meter piece of cardboard. The blue acrylic pigment was mixed with water. With the stirring of the brush, the pigment splashed everywhere. Two brushes are not busy at all. Some students don't care about dirt. They directly use them as brushes and fill the color on the board. Everyone worked together to complete a big shift, regardless of the fact that their white shirts had been dyed blue. With some paint left, we held up our brushes and customized a blue tie dyed shirt for each other. Laughter filled our game and diluted our tense atmosphere. Because of us, we can achieve victorious achievements.We learned unity in this competition. At the beginning, everyone in our team didn't take charge of their own affairs. They thought it would be good to complete their own part, resulting in contradictions and disharmony. From preparing props to shooting exercises, we all encountered different difficulties. Some people have questions about the script. In order to make everyone more united, we hold a regular meeting to summarize everyone's achievements and subsequent plans during this period, and everyone can also put forward problems and solutions. This competition makes the members of our group more express in solving things, be patient, understand each other and have a broader mind.In this di competition, we learned a lot of knowledge and methods. I also know the importance of teamwork. We also learned how to comfort our teammates when they are in trouble; In case of emergency, change the script temporarily to make the script more meaningful; Don't be discouraged when materials are wrong, redo them immediately and change them better; When you have some small emotions, quickly adjust and consider for the team. In general, in this team competition, we urged each other and made progress, and achieved good results in the end. It's not easy for everyone to win this award, but it's also very hard won. I hope we can do this in the National Games and strive to do better.Finally, I am very happy to get the fifth place in this di city competition. We will continue to work hard in the national competition, learn the lessons of the previous competition and achieve better results.

再次恭喜获得奖项的美高学子们!

Congratulation to LWS Students!
