Charity Bazaar Spreads Love

The annual multicultural charity bazaar held in the atrium of ISA Science city is a highlight of every ISA Festival. The income from the ISA Festival tickets and the ISA charity booths are donated to important charitable causes. We would like to thank everyone for contributing, and helping to create a better future for the world that we all share and cohabit.

在爱莎科学城中庭广场的多元公益集市，是每年“爱莎日”活动的传统保留项目。每年“爱莎日”活动中的所有收益，都将悉数赠予爱莎公益基金，用爱莎学子的点滴行动，谱写世界更好明天。

The numerous booths at the ‘Charity Bazaar’ offered a dazzling variety of goods and services. Parents, students, and numerous partner organisations showcased assorted foods, cultural and creative products, musical instruments, handicrafts, student creations, sports equipment, and technological models. The strong support for the ‘Charity Bazaar’ demonstrates the unwavering commitment of the entire ISA community to giving back to society and caring for others. In the future, ISA will continue to stay true to its original mission, combining international education with charity to nurture loving global citizens who can make their contribution to improving our world.

在琳琅满目的百余个公益展位上，丰富的展陈内容目不暇接。家长、学生、社会各界齐参与，美食、文创、乐器、手工艺品、学生作品、运动装备、科技模型等背后展出的是全体爱莎社区成员对回馈社会、关心他人的矢志渝心。在未来，爱莎将继续不忘初心，持续将国际教育与慈善公益结合起来，培养充满爱的世界公民，坚持不懈地为建设更美好的未来献出自己的一份力量。

 Technology Empowers International Education

The importance of technological innovation has never been as significant as it is today, and the cultivation of innovative abilities begins in the first few years of life. In this year's ISA Festival, ISA incorporated a futuristic Technological Demonstration Show that highlighted the development of technological advancements. Through participatory activities and demonstrations led by ISA students, the audience immersed themselves in a multidimensional world and experienced the beauty of emerging technologies.

当前，世界从来没有像今天这样如此重视科技创新的发展，而创新能力的培养归根结底在于对青少年的早期教育。本次“爱莎日”，学校特别融入极具未来感的“科技体感秀”，在爱莎学子的自主参与和演示中，观众得以在多维世界中，身临其境的感受浩渺宇宙，体验未来科技之美。

The student-led sci-fi show Stellar Voyage premiered at ISA Science City’s Innovation Centre. Using cutting-edge 3D holographic projection technology, the grandiose show blurred the boundaries between the real world and the virtual world, allowing students to embark on a journey through space aboard the ‘ISA Starship’. As the students ventured into space, they became acutely aware of the various challenges and issues that the Earth faces. Fuelled by their love for the planet, they actively reflected upon and researched solutions to address these problems. Through the holographic projection show, guided by ISA students, the audience witnessed the allure of cutting-edge technology and joined the ISA students in contemplating what each and every person can do to protect the Earth.

由学生自主参演的 “星野航行”主题科幻秀在爱莎科学城科创中心华丽上映，其中使用的3D全息投影技术，打破现实世界与虚拟数字世界的边界，学生乘坐“爱莎号”宇宙飞船漫游太空。在太空中，学生能够清楚地看到地球出现的各种问题，怀着对地球的热爱，他们开始积极反思和研究如何解决这些问题。在整个全息投影科技秀中，我们在爱莎学子的带领下领略前沿科技的魅力，并跟随他们一起思考自己能为保护地球做些什么。

Furthermore, the awe-inspiring 3D performance introduced a new visual experience to the audience. Participants witnessed realistic three-dimensional effects and immersed themselves in a breathtaking world where objects appeared to come to life right before their eyes. The integration of technology and art in the form of interactive shadow particles transformed human figures into flowing particles, allowing the audience to see bodies dancing in mid-air. Accompanied by vibrant and colourful light and particle effects, spectators felt as if they were transported into a dreamlike world, exploring the infinite possibilities of art and technology alongside the performers.

除此之外，裸眼3D表演带给大家全新的视觉体验，体验者可以亲身感受到逼真的立体效果，进入一个令人惊叹的世界，与画面中的事物近距离接触，好像它们跃然纸上一般。融合了科技与艺术的人影粒子互动，将人的身影转化为流动的粒子，观众将看到人的身体在空中舞动，伴随着绚丽多彩的光影和粒子效果，仿佛置身于一个梦幻的世界中，与表演者共同探索艺术与科技的无限可能性。

As we march towards the future, we will inevitably face a series of unknown challenges. However, with an international education from ISA, our students are preparing themselves for the complexities of the modern world. The establishment of innovation centres across many ISA campuses, which provide students with a nurturing environment in which to delve into the realms of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), serves as the key to unlocking the door to technology for students. The emphasis on technological education unleashes the boundless imagination and creativity of students. Moreover, a focus on technology broadens students’ horizons, and fosters their global awareness, which will help equip them with the confidence and resilience needed to navigate the uncertainties of the future.

向未来迈进，我们将面对一系列未知挑战，接受爱莎教育的学子正在为这样的未来世界做准备，展示此次科技环节的科创中心正在爱莎各校区逐步建立，为学生提供打开科技之门的钥匙，释放他们的无限想象力和创造力，拓宽他们的视野和全球意识，使他们能够自信地去探索未知，拥抱未来。
