Solar Lamp 太阳能灯 2011 program was EEF’s
first Student Science learning kit
Development partner: Innogetic Tech in Zhuhai Guangdong
Students built Solar Lamp and learned science lessons
Issue #1: Schools want more advanced programs
Issue #2: Program is not sustainable without annual funding
2011 年的项目是 EEF 第一个学生科学学习的项目
发展伙伴 : 广东珠海盈致科技
学生做出太阳能灯并学到了科学知识
问题 1 :学校期望更先进的项目
问题 2 :项目没有年度基金就无以为续
STEM 是 科学技术工程数学 Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

USA STEM Student Issues ( 中文 ) STEM interest is
generated in isolation (at home) Source: en.wikipedia.org
STEM programs have historically been available only to gifted students Source: en.wikipedia.org
Low income students lack exposure opportunity
STEM is not considered “cool” in student culture
对 STEM 的兴趣是独自在家的时候产生的
以往只有有才能的学生才能接触到 STEM 项目
低收入学生缺少接触 STEM项目的机会
学生文化认为 STEM 不酷炫

Example: Robotics team 例子:机器人团队 Teams design and build
robots to compete in specified competition
Teams come from US and internationally
Teams are typically from school robotic clubs
Professional Engineers mentor the team
Companies sponsor competition
Parental support
团队设计制造机器人参加某个比赛
团队既来自美国本地,又来自世界各地
团队一般来自学校机器人俱乐部
团队配备专业工程师为导师 由公司资助比赛 父母支持

Future Program ( 中文 ) Microcontroller
learning program to provide teacher guidance
Students learn programming and building automated projects – possibly a robot’s brain?
Based on “Open Source” software and hardware http://www.arduino.cc/
微控制器学习项目提供教师指导
学生学习编程 制定自动化计划,比如一个机器人大脑
基于开源软硬件
