科技体验周｜致知与创新的庆典

午间创意工坊开启数字艺术之旅！学生们在"镜像魔法"等特色项目中，使用Tayasui专业绘图工具，将传统笔触与现代科技完美融合，创作出令人惊艳的数字艺术作品。

在科技体验周期间，学生们积极参与了AI文学课，对人工智能领域的各类话题开展了发人深省的探讨。人工智能是否具备情感？人工智能将如何影响未来职业发展？如果能拥有自己的机器人，你希望它们能具备怎样的功能？这些课程有效激发了学生的批判性思维和数字意识，而这些技能正是他们在日益科技化的世界中从容应对和导航的必备素养。

本周最为引人注目的体验，是引进了虚拟现实（VR）学习技术。每个班级都得以进入全新的虚拟环境，无论是探索海洋深处、漫步于历史地标，甚至深入人体内部。这种身临其境的体验使学习变得生动有趣，使复杂的主题更加具体且引人入胜。

学生数字领袖们有幸参观了位于万象城的苹果零售店，并参与了一场关于数字创意的实践工作坊。学生们使用Procreate设计了属于自己的表情符号，探索了科技与自我表达的交汇点。他们还学习了如何使用各种画笔实现不同效果，如何有效使用图层，以及如何液化图层以扭曲图像。这次沉浸式体验不仅激发了他们的创造力，还让他们得以一窥数字设计的世界。

电子竞技远不止于单纯的娱乐游戏——它更是一场融合了团队合作、策略部署与问题解决的综合性挑战。我们的学生在一场《我的世界》夺旗模式的实时对决中，充分检验了自身的各项技能。此次活动不仅展现了他们在激烈而友好的竞技氛围中协同作战的能力，更凸显了他们批判性思维和数字素养的卓越应用。

本次科技体验周不仅面向学生，老师们也纷纷化身"科技导师"，在AI教学论坛上分享自己的实用AI软件：从智能翻译神器到互动故事APP，通过鲜活的教学案例秀，揭秘如何用数字工具玩转跨学科课堂。

回顾「科技体验周」

衷心感谢我们的老师、学生和家长以饱满热情投入科技体验周的各项活动中。你们的支持对营造具有前瞻性思维的学习环境至关重要。

在惠灵顿杭州校区，教育的目的，绝不只是教会学生同人工智能竞争。

我们与人工智能的关系，不应是对抗，而应是合作。我们倡导的“人文素养”，是将仁、义、礼、勇、信融入学生个人成长的每一个维度，它包括了对真伪、善恶、美丑、自由、真理、意志、情绪、平等、欲望等的认识和追求。人文素养赋予个体丰盈的精神世界、独立的思考能力以及独立的精神人格，从而让生命绽放出应有的高度——这正是人与人工智能最本质的区别。

这也正是为什么我们的育人目标是培养「变革者」，我们期望学生不仅拥有扎实的知识基础，更具备卓越的创造力。然而，思维与能力并非单靠传授可得，亦非通过机械做题便能习得，唯有在真实的活动任务、人际冲突和困难挑战中，方能得以锤炼与提升——这正是教育中“育”的真谛，我们所追求的，并非仅仅是分数，而是学生的全面成长。

因此，惠灵顿杭州校区在文化课之余，精心开设丰富的CCA课程，积极鼓励学生参与各类国际竞赛，每年倾力公演一部音乐剧，并带领学生走出教室，在研学之旅中通过真实的任务挑战，培养他们的批判性思维、沟通能力、协作能力和创造力等综合素质。

我们相信，教育的本质在于激发潜能，塑造品格。每一个学生都是独一无二的个体，他们不仅需要知识的滋养，更需要心灵的呵护。在惠灵顿杭州校区，我们致力于营造一个多元、开放、充满挑战的学习环境，让学生在探索中茁壮成长，在合作中不断进步。

通过这样的教育，学生们将不仅在学术上取得卓越成就，更将在人生的道路上，成为有担当、有情怀、有远见的变革者，为社会的进步贡献自己的力量。

Pupils got hands-on with digital creativity through lunchtime workshops, including Mirror Magic with Tayasui’s Sketches School. These sessions encouraged pupils to experiment with digital art tools, blending traditional drawing techniques with modern technology.  

Throughout the week, pupils engaged in AI Literacy lessons, delving into thought-provoking discussions on artificial intelligence. Using interactive tools, they explored questions such as: Can AI have emotions? How might AI impact future careers? These lessons encouraged critical thinking and digital awareness, essential skills for navigating an increasingly tech-driven world. 

One of the standout experiences of the week was the introduction of Virtual Reality (VR) learning. Every class had the opportunity to step into new virtual environments, whether it was exploring the depths of the ocean, walking through historical landmarks, or even stepping inside the human body. This hands-on experience helped bring learning to life, making complex topics more tangible and engaging. 

Our Digital Leaders had the unique opportunity to visit the Apple Store at MixC, where they participated in a hands-on workshop on digital creativity. The pupils designed their own emojis, exploring the interdiv of technology and self-expression. This immersive experience not only sparked their creativity but also gave them a glimpse into the world of digital design.  

Esports is more than just gaming—it’s teamwork, strategy and problem-solving. Our pupils put their skills to the test in a Minecraft Capture the Flag live match. This event showcased their ability to collaborate, think critically and apply digital literacy skills in a competitive yet friendly environment. 

Teachers also took centre stage during our Teach Meet session, sharing best practices for integrating EdTech into the classroom. From using AI-powered translation tools to interactive storytelling apps, these short presentations demonstrated how technology is enhancing learning experiences across all subjects.  

Retrospective on

Techsperience Week

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our teachers, pupils and parents for their enthusiastic participation in the activities of Techsperience Week. Their support is instrumental in fostering a forward-thinking learning environment. 

At Wellington College Hangzhou, our educational mission transcends merely equipping our pupils to compete with artificial intelligence.  

We do not engage with artificial intelligence through confrontation, but rather through collaboration. The humanistic literacy we advocate is designed to instil in every pupil the values of kindness, responsibility, respect, courage and integrity. It encompasses the pursuit of truth, goodness, beauty, freedom, fact, will, emotion, equality and desire. Humanistic literacy enriches the human spirit, fosters independent thinking and individuality, and enables individuals to realise their true potential—this is the fundamental distinction between humans and artificial intelligence. 

This is also why we aspire for our pupils to be changemakers. We expect them to have a solid foundation of knowledge and to possess exceptional creativity. However, thinking and abilities cannot be acquired merely through instruction or rote problem-solving. They can only be refined and enhanced through real-life activities, interpersonal challenges and overcoming difficulties. This is the true essence of education. What we pursue for our pupils is not just academic achievement, but their holistic development. 

Therefore, in addition to our core academic curriculum, Wellington College Hangzhou has meticulously crafted a wide array of Co-Curricular Activities (CCA). We actively encourage pupils to engage in international competitions, participate in an annual musical production and embark on field trips that present real-life challenges beyond the classroom. These experiences collectively nurture their overall qualities, including critical thinking, communication, teamwork and creativity. 

We believe that the essence of education lies in unleashing potential and shaping character. Each pupil is a unique individual who requires not only the enrichment of knowledge but also the nurturing of their spirit. At Wellington College Hangzhou, we are committed to creating a diverse, open and challenging learning environment where pupils can thrive through exploration and improve through collaboration. 

This educational ethos enables our pupils to achieve academic excellence and become responsible, compassionate and visionary changemakers on the journey of life, contributing their strength to the progress of society.
